Grave digger, grave digger
Send me on my way
Release me to this earth
Within this shallow grave

Grave digger, grave digger
Bring me to my knees
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 me 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 out hope
It's not too late so I'll pray
I'll pray it's not too late

Grave digger, grave digger
Rest these 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
