Lyrics
Gravedigger Blues Chorus We’ve got the gravedigger blues We’ve come to bury one of our own It’s his time to shine now that the lights have gone out And the Good Lord has called him home If found him lying face down in the sand And my knees grew too weak to stand I pulled the needle from his hand And ran off to tell the boys in the band We all loved whisky in the jar But for him it all went too far He just couldn’t catch that falling star Now all that’s left is his old guitar Chorus He always loved to sing the blues But then he started living them too How bad it was, we never knew We always figured he’d pull through Sometimes I still can hear him play And I think about him every day It’s a shame he was taken away I guess there’s nothing more i can say Chorus
