Gravedigger Lyrics

    Cyrus Jones 1810 to 1913,
    Cyrus Jones 1810 to 1913
    Made his great grandchildren believe you could live to 100 and 3
    Made his great grandchildren believe
    A 100 and 3, is forever when you're just a little kid so
    You could live to a hundred and three
    Cyrus Jones lived forever
    A hundred and three is forever when you're just a little kid

    So Cyrus Jones lived forever
    Gravedigger

    When you dig my grave
    Gravedigger
    Could you make it shallow
    When you dig my grave
    So that I can feel the rain
    Could you make it shallow
    Gravedigger
    So that I can feel the rain

    Gravedigger
    Muriel Stonewall 1903 to 1954,

    She lost both of her babies in the second great war,
    Muriel Stonewall
    Now you should never have to watch as your only children are lowered into the ground
    1903 to 1954
    I mean
    She lost both of her babies in the second great war
    Never have to bury your own babies
    Now you should never have to watch

    Your only children lowered in the ground
    Gravedigger
    I mean you should never have to bury your own babies
    When you dig my grave

    Could you make it shallow
    Gravedigger
    So that I can feel the rain
    When you dig my grave
    Gravedigger
    Could you make it shallow

    So that I can feel the rain
    Ring around the Rosy
    Gravedigger
    Pocket full of posies

    Ashes to ashes
    Ring around the rosey
    We all fall down
    Pocket full of posey

    Ashes to ashes
    Gravedigger
    We all fall down
    When you dig my grave

    Could you make it shallow
    Gravedigger
    So that I can feel the rain
    When you dig my grave
    Oh Gravedigger
    Could you make it shallow

    So that I can feel the rain

    When he grows up he wants to be Mr. Vertigo on the flying trapeze
    Little Mikey Carson 67 to 75
    Oh, 1940 to 1992
    He rode his

    Bike like the devil until the day he died
    Gravedigger
    When he grows up he wants to be Mr. Vertigo on the flying trapeze
    When you dig my grave
    Ohhh, 1940 to 1992

    I can feel the rain
    So that I can feel the rain
