Gravedigger Lyrics

Cyrus Jones 1810 to 1913
Made his great grandchildren believe
you can live to 103
and a hundred and three is forever when you?re just a little kid
so, Cyrus Jones lived forever
{Chorus:}
Grave digger
When you dig my grave
could you make it shallow
so that I can feel the rain
grave digger

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
{Chorus}

Ring around the rosy
Pocket full of posies
Ashes to ashes
{musical intro}
We all fall down
{Chorus}

Little Mickey 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--

{Chorus}
{Chorus}

Grave digger
Grave digger
