Gravedigger man, have you got a fit for me?
An old pine box with a cross on the lid.
Hey digger man, have you got a plot for me?
A shallow grave underneath the old oak tree.
I ain't ever gonna lay down my guns.
I'll take them all on, one by one.
I ain't ever gonna lay down my guns.
I'll take them all on, until there gone.
Gravedigger man, have you got some words for me?
An old hymn, to set me free.
Hey digger man, please don't rush to cover me.
With each shovel of dirt its makes it harder to breath.
I ain't ever gonna lay down my guns.
I'll take them all on, one by one.
I ain't ever gonna lay down my guns.
I'll take them all on, until there gone.
I ain't asking, I'm telling you...
My time has past me but that's old news
And I ain’t got a place of mine own,
Dust off my close, can't rest these bones.
And I'm never gonna give in, I'll never surrender...
No not to you!
Gravedigger man, am I just like you?
An old soul, in a dead man's shoes.
I ain't ever gonna lay down my guns
I'll take them all on, one by one
I ain't ever gonna lay down my guns.
I'll take them all on, one by one.
I ain't ever gonna lay down my guns.
I'll take them all on, until there gone.
I ain't ever gonna lay down my guns.
I'll take them all on, one by one
I ain't ever gonna lay down my guns.
I'll take them all on, until there gone.
