Gravedigger Dave Matthews

[Instrument Break]
[Verse 1]
Cyrus Jones, 1810 to 1913
He 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

[Chorus]
Gravedigger, when you dig my grave
Could you make it shallow
So that I can feel the rain?
Gravedigger

[Verse 2]
Muriel Stonewall, 1903 to 1954
She lost both of her babies in the second great war
You should never have to watch
As your only children lowered in the ground
I mean
Never have to bury your own babies

[Chorus]
Gravedigger, when you dig my grave
Could you make it shallow
So that I can feel the rain?
Gravedigger
