lyrics

Well the road ahead is trouble
never gonna end
picked me up a shovel
I said “would you be my friend?”
That’s why I cannot love you baby
I’m a gravediggin man

Well the path we ride is heavy
get rest while you can
signal when you’re ready
and we’ll saddle up again
you know the days are aways shorter
with a gravediggin man

The sun hangs low and lonely
at the base of the sky
My always-faithful shovel
he ain’t never ask why
when the moon comes up we’re diggin
a trench for your soul
baby I’m a gravedigger
My heart is a hole

Well the night is coming quickly
the sky is black and tan
girl you’re looking sickly
I think a fever’s setting in
You know your sickness looks so pretty
to a gravediggin man

The sun hangs low and lonely
at the base of the sky
My always-faithful shovel
he ain’t never ask why
when the moon comes up we’re diggin
a trench for your soul
baby I’m a gravedigger
My heart is a hole

Roads will always wander
feet will always walk
hearts will always feel
but they’ll seldom ever talk
paths are always crossing
time is always sand
pray you never spend it
with a gravediggin man

The sun hangs low and lonely
at the base of the sky
My always-faithful shovel
he ain’t never ask why
when the moon comes up we’re diggin
a trench for your soul
baby I’m a gravedigger
My heart is a hole
