Cyrus Jones
1810–1913
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
1903–1954
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-a-round the Rosie
A pocket full of posies
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–'75
He rode his bike like the devil
Until the day he died
When he grows up he wants to be
Mister Vertigo on the flying trapeze
Oh
1940–1992…
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…
