Dave Matthews - Gravedigger (acoustic) lyrics

[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 babies [Chorus] [Bridge] Ring around the rosie Pocket full of posies Ashes to ashes We all fall down [Chorus] [Verse 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 Or 1940 to 1992 [Chorus] x2
