There's a little churchyard just along the way
It used to be Lambeth's finest array Of tombstones, epitaphs, wreaths, flowers
all that jazz Til the war come along and someone dropped
a bomb on the lot
And in this little yard, there's a little old man
With a little shovel in his little bitty hand
He seems to spend all his days puffing *** and digging graves
He hates the reverend vicar and he lives all alone in his home
Please Mr. Gravedigger, don't feel ashamed As you dig little holes for the dead and the
maimed Please Mr. Gravedigger, I couldn't care
If you found a golden locket full of some girl's hair
And you put it in your pocket Her mother doesn't know about your sentimental
joy She thinks it's down below with the rest of
her toys And Ma wouldn't understand, so I won't tell
So keep your golden locket all safely hid away in your pocket
Yes, Mr. GD, you see me every day Standing in the same spot by a certain grave
Mary-Ann was only 10 and full of life and oh so gay
And I was the wicked man who took her life away
Very selfish, oh God No, Mr. GD, you won't tell
And just to make sure that you keep it to yourself
I've started digging holes myself And this one here's for you
