Текст (слова) песни: Bowie, David - Please Mr. Gravedigger

Theres a little churchyard just along the way
It used to be Lambeths finest array
Of tombstones, epitaphs, wreaths, flowers all that jazz
Till the war came along and someone dropped a bomb on the lot

And in this little yard, theres a little old man
With a little shovel in his little bitty hand
He seems to spend all his days puffing fags and digging graves
He hates the reverend vicar and he lives all alone in his home

Ah-choo ! excuse me

Please Mr. Gravedigger, dont feel ashamed
As you dig little holes for the dead and the maimed
Please Mr. Gravedigger, I couldnt care
If you found a golden locket full of some girls hair
And you put it in your pocket

God, its pouring down

Her mother doesnt know about your sentimental joy
She thinks its down below with the rest of her toys
And Ma wouldnt understand, so I wont tell
So keep your golden locket all safely hid away in your pocket

Yes, Mr. GD, you see me every day , st ....ah choo !
Standing in the same spot by a certain grave
Mary-Ann was only 10, full of life and oh so gay
And I was the wicked man who took her life away
Very selfish, Oh God

No, Mr. GD, you wont tell
And just to make sure that you keep it to yourself
Ive started digging holes my friend
And this one heres for you

Lifted our girl, she apparently doesnt know of it
Hello misses, thought shed be a little girl
Bloody obscene, catch pneumonia or something in this rain
