Gravedigger Songtext
von Dave Matthews Band

Hey, thank you all very much
Damn, something smells good, mhmm
Thank you all again so much
That′s all I can say over and again, I don't wanna become redundant
But it′s a beautiful place to be in this late night, to come out
And have so many people hanging with ya
So, see some of you tomorrow, maybe we gonna be here again
And think we're gonna start a little bit earlier, earlier tomorrow
So uh, if you coming down get here a little bit earlier
We try and catch some of the sunset, you know

Cyrus Jones, 1810 to 1913
Made his great grandchildren 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 live 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 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
Grave digger

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, oh

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