Lyrics

[Chorus] Dig, dig, gravedigger Dig, gravedigger, dig Work that shovel with vigor, gravedigger Before rigor mortis sets in, dig Dig, dig, gravedigger Dig, gravedigger, dig That big ol' hole just keeps gettin' bigger So dig, Gravedigger, dig [Verse 1] Well, he don't mind the cadavers He don't mind human remains He got no problem sleepin' at night Ain't nothin' 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 a some kinda piecework deal He get paid by the grave [Chorus] Dig, dig, gravedigger Dig, gravedigger, dig Work that shovel with vigor, gravedigger Before rigor mortis sets in, dig Dig, dig, gravedigger Dig, gravedigger, dig That big ol' hole just keeps gettin' bigger So dig, gravedigger, dig [Verse 2] Well, he could be makin' more money He could be out workin' 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 you don't badger the hole When you're 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 the right time of the night you might spy him in the moonlight Doin' a jig [Chorus] Dig, dig, gravedigger Dig, gravedigger, dig Work that shovel with vigor, gravedigger Before rigor mortis sets in, dig Dig, dig, gravedigger (Dig it brother!) Dig, gravedigger, dig That big ol' hole just keeps gettin' bigger 'Cause Gravedigger'd rather just dig (DIG!) Dig, dig, Gravedigger Dig, Gravedigger, dig That big old hole just keep gettin' bigger So Gravedigger keep on diggin' (DIG!) Dig, dig, Gravedigger Dig, Gravedigger, dig Work that shovel with vigor, Gravedigger Before rigor mortis sets in, dig Dig, dig, Gravedigger Dig, Gravedigger, dig That big old hole just keeps gettin' bigger So dig, Gravedigger, dig (Dig, dig, dig Gravedigger dig!) (Dig, dig, dig Gravedigger!)
