What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
And in this little yard, there's a little old man
2
With a little shovel in his little bitty hand
3
He seems to spend all his days puffing fags and digging graves
4
He hates the reverend vicar and he lives all alone in his home
5
"Ah-choo, excuse me"
6
Please Mr. Gravedigger, don't feel ashamed
7
As you dig little holes for the dead and the maimed
8
Please Mr. Gravedigger, I couldn't care
9
If you found a golden locket full of some girl's hair
10
And you put it in your pocket
11
"God, it's pouring down"
12
Her mother doesn't know about your sentimental joy
13
She thinks it's down below with the rest of her toys
14
And Ma wouldn't understand, so I won't tell
15
So keep your golden locket all safely hid away in your pocket
16
Yes, Mr. GD, you see me every day
17
Standing in the same spot by a certain grave
18
Mary-Ann was only 10, full of life and oh so gay
19
And I was the wicked man who took her life away
20
Very selfish, Oh God
21
No, Mr. GD, you won't tell
22
And just to make sure that you keep it to yourself
23
I've started digging holes myself
24
And this one here's for you
25
"Lifted our girl, she apparently doesn't know of it
26
Hello misses, thought she'd be a little girl
27
Bloody obscene, catch pneumonia or something in this rain"
