lyrics

Well I dug that old hole. Lord!
And I sweat a little tear too.
Dug with my magic shovel.
Dug through stone and gravel too.
Dug me my resting place.
So when my digging is done.
I can lay me down.
Safe from the vultures and the sun.

Well that black old vulture.
Lord! He's not gonna get a piece of me.
Unless he does some digging.
Under that shady old tree.
Now I done my time.
And I paid my dues.
With blood and sweat and some tears.
And I done a little digging too.

Now I dug my way to china.
Dug up a can of worms.
Dug up a ladies tears.
A pandora's box of fears.
And I lost my magic shovel.
Could do no digging no more.
My money all turned to debts.
I'm ready to jump down that hole.
