Tim Reynolds and Dave Matthews - Gravedigger Lyrics

Cyrus Jones 1810 to 1913
Cyrus Jones 1810 to 1913
Made his great grandchildren believe
Made his great grandchildren believe

You could live to a hundred and three
You could live to a hundred and three
A hundred and three is forever when you're just a little kid
A hundred and three is forever when you're just a little kid
So Cyrus Jones lived forever
So Cyrus Jones lived forever

[Chorus]
Gravedigger
Gravedigger
When you dig my grave
When you dig my grave
Could you make it shallow
Could you make it shallow
So that I can feel the rain
So that I can feel the rain
Gravedigger
Gravedigger

Muriel Stonewall
Muriel Stonewall
1903 to 1954
1903 to 1954
She lost both of her babies in the second great war
She lost both of her babies in the second great war

Now you should never have to watch
Now you should never have to watch
Your only children lowered in the ground
Your only children lowered in the ground
I mean you should never have to bury your own babies
I mean you should never have to bury your own babies

[Chorus]

Ring around the rosey
Pocket full of posey
Ashes to ashes
We all fall down

[Chorus]

Little Mikey Carson 67 to 75
Little Mikey Carson 67 to 75
He rode his
He rode his
Bike like the devil until the day he died

Bike like the devil until the day he died
When he grows up he wants to be Mr. Vertigo on the flying trapeze
When he grows up he wants to be Mr. Vertigo on the flying trapeze
1940 to 1992
1940 to 1992

[Chorus x2]

Feel the rain
Feel the rain
I can feel the rain
I can feel the rain
Gravedigger
Gravedigger

Gravedigger
