Strum
D-DU-UDU
Cyrus Jones, 1810 to 1913
Made his great grandchildren believe
He 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
(Note: played the same as the intro)
Gravedigger
When you dig my grave
Could you make it shallow
So that I can feel the rain
Gravedigger
Muriel Stonewall, 1903 to 1954
Lost both of her babies in the second great war
Now you should never have to watch
Your only children are lowered in the ground
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
Oh, 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
Gravedigger
When you dig my grave
Could you make it shallow
So that I can feel the rain
Gravedigger
