Grave Digger

Cyrus Jones, 1810 to 1913

Made his great-grandchildren believe you could live to 103

103 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

As your own children are lowered in the ground

No, 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 of 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?

Gravedigger, 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...

Gravedigger...
