granddaddy granddaddy tell me please
tell me about old times
granddaddy granddaddy what was it like
working the coal mines
you rise in darkness never see the light
into the belly of eternal night
give us this day our daily crust
to greet the demons of the dust
and i say dig down dig deep
working working like a slave
dig down dig deep
dig away your dignity
dig down dig deep
well a man sure can
a man sure can
a man sure can
dig his own grave
dig his own grave
granddaddy granddaddy tell me why
all men are not born free
some are rich and most are poor
why must that be
some find the answer in religion
others turn to philosophy
i myself have no opinion
i just got ten mouths to feed
and i say dig down dig deep
working working like a slave
dig down dig deep
dig away your dignity
dig down dig deep
i hope and pray my soul to save
dig down dig deep
well a man sure can
a man sure can
a man sure can
dig his own grave
granddaddy granddaddy why do your hands
tremble when you speak..
