Gravedigger

Dave Matthews Band

1. Cyrus Jones, 1810 to 1913
   He made his great grandchildren believe
   He could live to one hundred and three
   Well a hundred and three is forever
   When you're just a little kid
   So Cyrus Jones lived forever

R: Gravedigger, when you dig my grave
   Could you make it shallow
   So that I can feel the rain
   Gravedigger
   
2. Muriel Stonewall, 1903 to 1954
   She lost both of her babies 
   in the second great war
   You should never have to watch
   Your own children are lowered in the ground
   I mean you should never have to bury your babies

R: Gravedigger...

*: Ring around the rosie  
   Pocket full of posies  
   Ashes to ashes  
     We all fall down

R: Gravedigger...

3. 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
   Mister Vertigo on the flying trapeze
   Oh, 1940 to 1992

R: Gravedigger...

R: Gravedigger, when you dig my  grave
   Could you make it  shallow
   So that  I can  feel the  rain
   Gravedigger    
                  
   Gravedigger
