Grave Digger Blues

Willie Dixon

Lord I saw the grave digger crying

He had his spade in his hand

He says I shan't bury this woman

Till somebody bury her man

You know the poor boy is dead

Oh but he just won't lay down

Well he just can't stand to see his little baby

In the cold cold ground



What's holding him up man

The grave digger wants to know

The undertaker never

Saw nothing like this before

Blood shot tears

Falling from his sunken eyes

He's too weak to live

Too strong to die
