Grave digger, grave digger

Send me on my way

Release me to this earthWithin this shallow grave

Grave digger, grave digger

Bring me to my knee

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 oath

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

Upon my dying breath

Save me if you can

The time for me has come

Let me be the one that got away

Let me be the one that got away

Let me be the one that got away
