The Death of the Gravedigger, Carlos Schwabe (1866-1926)
Hard on the heels of last night’s The Grave Digger’s Song Book is tonight’s LFM original. Join me now on a romp through the thoughts of a Man on the subject of holes, what goes in them, and his place in the void.
The Grave Digger’s Song
By LFM
He’s a miserable thing who won’t dig a hole,
Whatever the size and no matter the goal.
Setting a fence post or raising a pole,
Digging a cat hole or planting a soul.
In the chill of the night or the heat of the day,
Bugger the rocks, and the roots, and the clay,
When a hole must be dug there’s no time to delay,
Don’t scrimp on the depth if you’d stifle decay.
For revenge dig two graves, I think that’s how it goes,
Some people believe it, I’m not one of those.
I’ll leave food for the Flies and what crawls up my nose,
Bones for Coyotes and flesh for the Crows.
