See That My Grave Is Kept Green is based on Gus William's 1879 song which can be found in the DT and at American Memory. Speculation about Williams song being the the source for Blind Lemon Jefferson's "see that my Grave is Kept Clean" is unfounded and only the title itself appears to have been used in the Jefferson blues song.

The Carters made the third Country Music recording in 1933.

SEE THAT MY GRAVE IS KEPT GREEN-Carter Family 1933

    When I am dead and gone from you, darling
    When I am laid away in my grave
    When my spirit has gone to heaven above
    To him whom my soul will save

          Oh, the day will come to you, darling
          When no more on earth I'll be seen
          There's one little wish, darling, grant me
          See that my grave is kept green
          When from this world I go
          Leaving forever the scene
          While others are dead, oh, will you then
          See that my grave is kept green
          [INSTRUMENTAL BREAK]

    Oh, the hour of joy is passing
    But, alas, how soon it will fade
    Your glances of love are meeting my own
    And sunlight will turn to shade

          Oh, the day will come to you, darling
          When no more on earth I'll be seen
          There's one little wish, darling, grant me
          See that my grave is kept green
          When from this world I go
          Leaving forever the scene
          While others are dead, oh, will you then
          See that my grave is kept green
          [INSTRUMENTAL BREAK]

    I shall never be happy again, my love
    Never be happy again
    For girls in their teens don't know what love means
    I shall never be happy again

          When from this world I go
          Leaving forever the scene
          While others are dead, oh, will you then
          See that my grave is kept green
