Cyrus Jones 1810 to 1913
Made his great grand children believe you 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

When you dig my grave
Could you make it shallow
So that I can feel the rain

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
I mean 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 rosies
Pocket full of posies
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

Little Mickey Carson '67 to '75
He rode his bike like the devil till the day he died
When he grows up he wants to be Mr. Vertigo on the flying trapeze
Nineteen forty to nineteen ninety.... two

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

When you dig my grave
Could you make it shallow
So that I can feel the rain

GravediggerI know that we all have differences
I'm not bothered 'cause I've seen them all
I'm the best guy you're ever going to meet
I won't listen to your point of view
I know everything
I know every paradox in politics
I've been every place around the world
On every subject I'm a known authority
No need to argue 'cause it won't get through
I know it won't be long
'til all my closest friends have come and gone
Freedom, I don't know what it means
The right to hate is part of me it seems
I know everything from history
I don't need to watch the news
I find it easy with my vast intelligence
No one tells me anything new
I often wonder why no one talks to me
They must be threatened by my charm and grace
I know everything about everything
I'm especially witty when I'm off my face
