Lyrics of Diggin' My Own Grave by Tinsley Ellis
From the Alligator Records release Fire It Up (AL 4852)
By Tinsley Ellis
Diggin′ My Own Grave (Walker & Mirkitani)
Four foot down a six foot hole
Head first in the mud and cold
My good sense is all but spent
My pick is dull my shovel's bent
I been workin′ it
Workin' it fast and hard
I been slippin'
Slippin′ way too far
I been diggin′
My own grave
Turn on the face with a deadly grin
I scratch and claw in a bed of sin
And I wait alone but it's hard to tell
This ain′t ever-lovin' hell
I been workin′ it
Workin' it fast and hard
I been slippin′
Slippin' way too far
That woman in trouble's all I crave
I been diggin′
My own grave
(Solo)
Five foot down with a serpent′s crawl
It's hard to hear the rapture′s call
But now I don't care what they see
Just throw that dirt all over me
Wooo!
I been workin′ it
Workin' it fast and hard
I been slippin′
Slippin' way too far
That woman in trouble's all I crave
I been diggin′
My own grave
Diggin′ my own grave, yeah
Wooo!
Writer(s): Alan M Mirikitani
