Grave digger, grave digger
Send me on my way
Release me to this earth
Within' this shallow grave

Grave digger, grave digger
Bring me to my knees
Forget what I have done
Forgive me if you please
Save me if you can
The time for me has come
Let me be the one that got away

Grave digger, grave digger
Slowly fill my grave
Whisper to your God
Allow me to be saved

Grave digger, grave digger
Pray for my lost soul
Release me from this earth
Allow me to grow old
Save me if you can
The time for me has come
Let me be the one that got away

Oh my God
Can I be saved
And not forgot
I hold our own
It's not too late
So I'll pray
I'll pray It's not too late

Grave digger, grave digger
Rest is weary bones
Help me on my way
Don't let me die alone

Grave digger, grave digger
Take what I have left
Give it to the lost
Up on my dying breath
Save me if you can
The time for me has come
Let me be the one that got away
