Gravedigger Lyrics - Dave Matthews

Cyrus Jones, 1810 to 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 to 1954 

She 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 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? 

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... 

Gravedigger...
