Lyrics Willie Nelson

Willie Nelson

Gravedigger

Cyrus Jones 1810 to 1913

Made his great grandchildren believe

He could live to a 103

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

That means 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 o'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

Oh 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

Oh, 1940 to 1992

Gravedigger

When you dig my grave

Could you make it shallow

So that I can feel the rain

Grave digger

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

Grave digger'
