DAVE MATTHEWS LYRICS - Gravedigger

"Gravedigger"



Cyrus Jones 1810 to 1913

Made his great granchildren 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

Your only children lowered in 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

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

Ohhh, 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

Feel the rain

I can feel the rain

Gravedigger
