What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
There's a little churchyard just along the way
2
It used to be lambeth's finest array
3
Of tombstones, epitaphs, wreaths, flowers all that jazz
4
Till the war came along and someone dropped a bomb on the lot
5
And in this little yard, there's a little old man
6
With a little shovel in his little bitty hand
7
He seems to spend all his days puffing fags and digging graves
8
He hates the reverend vicar and he lives all alone in his home
9
Ah-choo ! excuse me
10
Please mr. gravedigger, don't feel ashamed
11
As you dig little holes for the dead and the maimed
12
Please mr. gravedigger, i couldn't care
13
If you found a golden locket full of some girl's hair
14
And you put it in your pocket
15
God, it's pouring down
16
Her mother doesn't know about your sentimental joy
17
She thinks it's down below with the rest of her toys
18
And ma wouldn't understand, so i won't tell
19
So keep your golden locket all safely hid away in your pocket
20
Yes, mr. gd, you see me every day , st ....ah choo !
21
Standing in the same spot by a certain grave
22
Mary-ann was only 10, full of life and oh so gay
23
And i was the wicked man who took her life away
24
Very selfish, oh god
25
No, mr. gd, you won't tell
26
And just to make sure that you keep it to yourself
27
I've started digging holes myself
28
And this one here's for you
29
Lifted our girl, she apparently doesn't know of it
30
Hello misses, thought she'd be a little girl
31
Bloody obscene, catch pneumonia or something in this rain
