1. Cyrus Jones, 1810 to 1913

He made his great grandchildren believe

Ami

He could live to one hundred and three

Ami

Well a hundred and three is forever

Am2

When you're just a little kid

So Cyrus Jones lived forever

R: Gravedigger, when you dig my grave

Could you make it shallow

So that I can feel the rain

2. Muriel Stonewall, 1903 to 1954

She lost both of her babies

in the second great war

You should never have to watch

Your own children are lowered in the ground

I mean you should never have to bury your babies

R: Gravedigger...

*: Ring around the rosie

Pocket full of posies

Ashes to ashes

We all fall down

R: Gravedigger...

3. 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

Mister Vertigo on the flying trapeze

Oh, 1940 to 1992

R: Gravedigger...

R: Gravedigger, when you dig my grave

Could you make it shallow

So that I can feel the rain
