Gravedigger Songtext
von Dave Matthews

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 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
As your only children are lowered in the ground
I mean, 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 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
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
When you dig my grave
Could you make it shallow?
So that I can feel the rain
Gravedigger
