Lyrics Gravedigger - Live at Alpine Valley Music Theatre, Elkhorn, WI 07.26.15 - Dave Matthews Band

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
Yeah, 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

Oh gravedigger
