You're welcome, lillyruben, and welcome to Mudcat.

I found the link by searching on Google, having first checked the Mudcat forum/Digital Tradition database. I haven't heard Diana Jones but see she has garnered much respect from accomplished musicians. Enjoy!

COLD GREY GROUND
Diana Jones

 Em                 Am
  When I die, don't bury me
  Em                       Am        Em
  In the cold dirt of the north country,
  Em                        Am
  In the cold gray ground, cold gray ground.
  Em                          Am         Em
  Don't leave me here in the cold gray ground.

I can't fly to heaven above
If I am bound here in this mud.
Take me south. carry me there
To the red clay that my soul can bear.

Cradle me, cradle me
In the warm hills of my family,
Blood red stains upon my hand.
My Saviour knows me where I stand.

From those hills I will fly
When my earthly tears have dried.
Father's face I will behold
Shining on the streets of gold.
