Gravedigger Lyrics

Dave Matthews Gravedigger

Cyrus Jones 1810-1913
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 1903-1954:
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 Carsons ' 67 -' 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 - 1940-1992

Gravedigger when you dig my grave,
could you make it shallow?
So that 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.
I can feel the rain
Gravedigger...
