[Ab]
[Eb] [G] [Ab]
You know to tell me the graveyard, graveyard, is a low down dirty place.
You know to tell me the graveyard, graveyard, is a low down dirty place.
You take my baby to the graveyard, you pack dirt in her face.
I'll follow that long black wagon, long black wagon down to the graveyard.
Watch them pack dirt in my baby's face.
I'll follow that long black wagon to the graveyard.
Watch them pack dirt in my baby's face.
Mr.
Graveyard Digger, why you wanna take my baby away?
I'll wave bye, bye, bye at my baby.
I'll be letting her down in the grave.
Yes I did.
Letting her down, letting her down in the grave.
I'm gonna bring you some flowers, baby, bring you some flowers.
[F] On [Abm] every decoration day, [Ab] baby.
Gonna decorate your grave, baby.
On every decoration day.
Mmmmm, pull me, pull me, pull me.
Mmmmm, pull me, pull, pull me, pull me.
I ain't got nobody, baby.
I ain't got nobody, baby.
[Abm]
[Eb] All I got in the world [Ab] have passed away.
My baby, my baby, how I passed away, how I passed away.
