Dig a hole in the cold, dark ground,
throw me in, let the dirt surround,
please make sure I won't be found,
and just let me be,
dig it deep, six feet down,
shovel that dirt all around,
pack it tight, so there's no sound,
I can't let it be,
Let it be, let it be,
let it be, oh, let it be,
can't you see,
what that woman been doin' to me,
let it be, let it be,
let it be, Lord, let it be,
can't you see,
what that woman done done to me,
I can't let it be,
Take this heart, from my chest,
lay me down, I need some rest,
I can't sleep, I'm too depressed,
to let it be,
Heaven knows, I ain't blessed,
and my head is just a mess,
all these sins, I must confess,
I can't let it be,
Let it be, let it be,
let it be, oh, let it be,
can't you see,
what this old world's been doin' to me,
let it be, let it be,
let it be, Lord, let it be,
can't you see,
what this old world's done done to me,
I can't let it be,
Take my soul, from this earth,
leave my hurt down in the dirt,
clean me up, give me some worth,
I need to let it be,
Let it be, let it be,
let it be, oh, let it be,
can't you see,
what I've been doin' to me,
let it be, let it be,
let it be, Lord, let it be,
I can finally see,
what I've done done to me,
I need to let it be...
