Dig Gravedigger Dig - Corb Lund

Dig, dig, gravedigger

Dig, gravedigger, dig

Work that shovel with vigour, gravedigger

'Fore rigour mortis sets in big

Dig, dig, gravedigger

Dig, gravedigger, dig

That big ole hole just keep getting bigger

Said dig, gravedigger, dig

Well, he don’t mind the cadavers

He don’t mind human remains

He got no problems sleeping at night

Ain’t nothing a little whiskey won’t tame

I asked about ghosts and spirits

I asked him if he ever got spooked

I asked him if he ever got haunted by souls

But he reckons that he buries them too

Now he ain’t bothered by corpses

Hell, he’ll plant stiffs all day

See, he on some kind of piece work deal

He get paid by the grave

Dig, dig, gravedigger

Dig, gravedigger, dig

Work that shovel with vigour, gravedigger

'Fore rigour mortis sets in big

Dig, dig, gravedigger

Dig, gravedigger, dig

That big ole hole just keep getting bigger

Said dig, gravedigger, dig

Well, he could be making more money

He could be out working the rigs

But he says he don’t really like no company

He says he’d rather just dig

Gravedigger, he got secrets

He whispered as he lit up a cig

He said you gotta watch it, don’t badger the hole

When you cutting through the roots and the twigs

He works right through in the darkness

And then he stops and he takes him a swig

Drive by right time of the night you might spy him in the moonlight

Doing a jig
