Gravedigger
words and music Lynne Hanson

murder at the shipyard
as the sun went down
soul crossed over
didn't make a sound
splintered into pieces
all the lights went red
murder at the shipyard
I'm burying the dead

CHORUS
grave digger
that's my name
ashes to ashes
just chalk in the rain
break the rules
can't change the game
grave digger
that's my name

say he was a drifter
found him lyin neath the docks
now he's lyin quiet
in a cheap pine box
raven stare down
neck hairs stand tall
tick tock tick tock
death gonna get us all

killing at the trainyard
train jumper this time
say he caught the westbound
sometime after nine
dig dig dig
in the cold cold ground
dig dig dig
killer ain't been found
