You Didn't Bury Me Deep Enough
Lyrics
You didn't bury me deep enough
(you gotta dig, you gotta dig, you gotta dig, you gotta dig)
You didn't bury me deep enough
(you gotta dig, you gotta dig, you gotta dig, you gotta dig)
You didn't bury me deep enough
You gotta dig six feet in the ground
When they called for Captain James, they had to yell
Standing over his empty grave, night began to swell
When this fog feels like my whole damn fighting life
It takes me away to where I cannot die
You didn't bury me deep enough
(you gotta dig, you gotta dig, you gotta dig, you gotta dig)
You didn't bury me deep enough
(you gotta dig, you gotta dig, you gotta dig, you gotta dig)
You didn't bury me deep enough
You gotta dig six feet in the ground
Put your death mask back on and dance with me
Sing some old Bing Crosby
You'll see that the only dream that was walking was Rosemary
And she spat out the bullet just to let us be
You didn't bury me deep enough
(you gotta dig, you gotta dig, you gotta dig, you gotta dig)
You didn't bury me deep enough
(you gotta dig, you gotta dig, you gotta dig, you gotta dig)
You didn't bury me deep enough
You gotta dig six feet in the ground
What in the world, how could this be true?
But the black cat told me just how they do
Captain James is standing tall on the hill
And he'll slaughter us one by one til he gets his fill
Disturb the earth, plant some seeds
Calculate all your worth and your means
If you catch him again tie him up wrapped in chains
But make sure that he can't escape
You didn't bury me deep enough
(you gotta dig, you gotta dig, you gotta dig, you gotta dig)
You didn't bury me deep enough
(you gotta dig, you gotta dig, you gotta dig, you gotta dig)
You didn't bury me deep enough
You gotta dig six feet in the ground
