Beat Happening - Gravedigger Blues lyrics

Saw the head off a scarecrow
Burn it's eyes with lead
Make a crown of barbed wire
Leave it under your bed

I'll come running with a heart on fire
I'll come running with a heart on fire
I'll come running with a heart on fire
And baby, you can dig my grave
Baby, you can dig my grave
Take a beet and a pole beam
Rotting, wrapped in hay spit into the middle
Cover it with clay

I'll come running with a heart on fire
I'll come running with a heart on fire
I'll come running with a heart on fire
I wonder what made you stay
I wonder what made me stray

Baby's got a jar of cider
Used for making hearts melt
Baby knows chicken wire
Don't make no chastity belt

Drive a stake into the river
Cap it with a bone
Hear that blackbird calling be my tombstone

Now I'm running with a heart on fire
Now I'm running with a heart on fire
I'm running with a heart on fire
And baby, you can lick the flames
Baby, you can lick the flames
Baby's got my heart's desire
Swinging from her trophy belt
Baby knows a funeral pyre
Don't get put out with no beaver pelt

Dig a sack of potatoes throw it in my grave
Fill it full of buckshot just count the days

I'll come running with a heart on fire
I'll come running with a heart on fire
I'll come running with a heart on fire
And baby, you'll make me pay
Baby, you'll make me pay

And baby, you'll be digging my grave
Baby, I'm just counting the days
