Gravedigger Songtext / Lyric

Cyrus Jones 1810 to 1913

Made his

Great grandchildren believe

He could live to a 103

A hundred and three is forever

When you're just a little kid

So, Cyrus Jones lived forever



Gravedigger

When you dig my grave

Could you make it shallow

So that I can feel the rain

Gravedigger






Muriel Stonewall 1903 to 1954

She lost both of her babies

In the second great war

Now, you should never have

To watch your only children

Lowered in the ground

That means

You should never have

To bury your own babies



Gravedigger

When you dig my grave

Could you make it shallow

So that I can feel the rain

Gravedigger



Ring around the rosey

Pocket full o'posey

Ashes to ashes

We all fall down



Gravedigger

When you dig my grave

Could you make it shallow

So that I can feel the rain

Gravedigger



Little Mikey Carson '67 to '75

He rode his bike

Like the devil

Until the day he died

When he grows up

He wants to be

Mr. Vertigo

On the flying trapeze

Oh, 1940 to 1992



Gravedigger

When you dig my grave

Could you make it shallow

So that I can feel the rain

Grave digger



When you dig my grave

Could you make it shallow

So that I can feel the rain

I can feel the rain

I can feel the rain



Gravedigger

When you dig my grave

Could you make it shallow

So that I can feel the rain

Gravedigger

Grave digger
