I go to the graveyard where we all must go.
Among the dead and the buried there, just so I'll know,
What it's like beneath those trees listening to that wind.
I go to the graveyard and I'll be back again.

I played in the graveyard when I was just a boy.
I'd run among the headstones, myself I would enjoy.
Well I was young and hardly knew what would happen then.
I played in the graveyard and I'll be back again.

I walk through the graveyard, I read the headstones.
So many dead and buried there, each one all alone.
An old man and an infant and a little child of ten.
I walk through the graveyard and I'll be back again.

My father's in the graveyard, my dear mother, too.
I visit them with flowers, what else can I do?
I go to the graveyard to remember them.
I'm an orphan in the graveyard and I'll be back again.
