Gravedigger's Son
In that old logging town
Where my heart can still be found
Well, I thought I would be the last
To lay you down
Oh, but you did up and run
You found yourself a better one
Someone finer than this poor
Gravedigger's son
Well, I'm not a handsome man
I can always lend a hand
Be it mine or some poor soul's
Under land
But you threw it all away
And I didn't have the heart to stay
So one dreary winter's night
I drove away
From that old logging town
Where my heart can still be found
Well, I thought I would be the last
To lay you down
Oh, but you did up and run
You found yourself a better one
Someone finer than this poor
Gravedigger's son
Well, I've been known to let things rest
And I surely did my best
To let the ghost of you
Leave my mind
It became too hard to say
And I was haunted night and day
I couldn't shake off the dust
And leave it all behind
In that old logging town
Where my heart can still be found
Well, I thought I would be the last
To lay you down
Oh, but you did up and run
You found yourself a better one
Someone finer than this poor
Gravedigger's son
Well, I roamed from place to place
And everywhere I saw your face
I was reminded of the good times
Way back when
But I finally came to
A place where I couldn't remember you
I picked up my shovel
And started digging again
In that old logging town
Where my heart can still be found
Well, I thought I would be the last
To lay you down
Oh, but you did up and run
You found yourself a better one
Someone finer than this poor
Gravedigger's son
Someone finer than this poor
Gravedigger's son
Where my heart can still be found
Well, I thought I would be the last
To lay you down
Oh, but you did up and run
You found yourself a better one
Someone finer than this poor
Gravedigger's son
Well, I'm not a handsome man
I can always lend a hand
Be it mine or some poor soul's
Under land
But you threw it all away
And I didn't have the heart to stay
So one dreary winter's night
I drove away
From that old logging town
Where my heart can still be found
Well, I thought I would be the last
To lay you down
Oh, but you did up and run
You found yourself a better one
Someone finer than this poor
Gravedigger's son
Well, I've been known to let things rest
And I surely did my best
To let the ghost of you
Leave my mind
It became too hard to say
And I was haunted night and day
I couldn't shake off the dust
And leave it all behind
In that old logging town
Where my heart can still be found
Well, I thought I would be the last
To lay you down
Oh, but you did up and run
You found yourself a better one
Someone finer than this poor
Gravedigger's son
Well, I roamed from place to place
And everywhere I saw your face
I was reminded of the good times
Way back when
But I finally came to
A place where I couldn't remember you
I picked up my shovel
And started digging again
In that old logging town
Where my heart can still be found
Well, I thought I would be the last
To lay you down
Oh, but you did up and run
You found yourself a better one
Someone finer than this poor
Gravedigger's son
Someone finer than this poor
Gravedigger's son
