[Chorus]
Dig, dig, Gravedigger
Dig, Gravedigger, dig
Work that shovel with vigor, Gravedigger
Before rigor mortis sets in, dig

Dig, dig, Gravedigger
Dig, Gravedigger, dig
That big old hole just keeps gettin’ bigger
So dig, Gravedigger, dig

[Verse 1]
Well, he don’t mind the cadavers
He don’t mind human remains
He got no problem sleepin’ at night
Ain’t nothin’ a little whiskey won’t tame

I asked about ghosts and spirits
I asked him if he ever got spooked
I asked him if he ever got haunted by souls
But he reckons that he buries them, too

Now, he ain’t bothered by corpses
Hell, he’ll plant stiffs all day
See, he on a some kinda piecework deal
He get paid by the grave
[Chorus]
Dig, dig, Gravedigger
Dig, Gravedigger, dig
Work that shovel with vigor, Gravedigger
Before rigor mortis sets in, dig

Dig, dig, Gravedigger
Dig, Gravedigger, dig
That big old hole just keeps gettin’ bigger
So dig, Gravedigger, dig

[Verse 2]
Well, he could be makin’ more money
He could be out workin’ the rigs
But he says he don’t really like no company
He says he’d rather just dig

Gravedigger, he got secrets
He whispered as he lit up a cig
He said you gotta watch you don’t badger the hole
When you’re cutting through the roots and the twigs

He works right through in the darkness
And then he stops and he takes him a swig
Drive by the right time of the night you might spy him in the moonlight
Doin’ a jig
[Chorus]
Dig, dig, Gravedigger
Dig, Gravedigger, dig
Work that shovel with vigor, Gravedigger
Before rigor mortis sets in, dig

Dig, dig, Gravedigger
(Dig it brother!)
Dig, Gravedigger, dig
That big old hole just keeps gettin’ bigger
'Cause Gravedigger'd rather just dig

(DIG!)

Dig, dig, Gravedigger
Dig, Gravedigger, dig
That big old hole just keep gettin’ bigger
So Gravedigger keep on diggin'

(DIG!)

Dig, dig, Gravedigger
Dig, Gravedigger, dig
Work that shovel with vigor, Gravedigger
Before rigor mortis sets in, dig
Dig, dig, Gravedigger
Dig, Gravedigger, dig
That big old hole just keeps gettin’ bigger
So dig, Gravedigger, dig

(Dig, dig, dig Gravedigger dig!)

(Dig, dig, dig Gravedigger!)
