Lyrics

Cyrus Jones, 1810 to 1913
Made his great granchildren believe
You could live to a hundred and three
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
I mean 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
Ohhh, 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
Feel the rain
I can feel the rain
Gravedigger

Gravedigger
