I'm diggin' you a shallow grave
   an to the sun your face i'll raise
   i'm diggin' you a shallow grave
   one hundred buzzards buzzin'
  
   i seen death hangin' from the tallest tree
   eyes closed no lookin' back at me
   ye they came an took him in the night
   the one who kissed em was greed
  
   o everyone will see
   an everyone will know
   boy you reap what you sow
  
   i'm diggin' you a shallow grave
   an on your rotten bones i'll raise
   yellow daisies
   for my true loves hair
   one hundred buzzards buzzin'
  
   i see death runnin' from his majesty
   o lord where is the fear in me
   in between your praying hands
   you hold the skeleton key
