Clayton Digger

Words and Music by Kenneth Francis Flaherty BMI and Richard Melvin Brown SOCAN

Verse

He stands handsomely strong and tall
At six feet
Tanned arms and hands and face
Great physique
Black hair and dusty gray eyes
So unique
He's a quiet shy type of a guy
So to speak

Verse

Spends six of his days digging holes
Making graves
Both for those who do everything right
And misbehave
He buries both the highest of kings
And the slaves
Then on Sundays he takes the day off
Time to shave

Chorus

Have you heard about the one
Who keeps on digging deep
Whose work is never done
Since we all must go to sleep
He likes to work alone
Where the creatures crawl and creep
Clayton Digger will free your soul
While the living continue to weep

Verse

He works among the goblins and ghosts
And the ghouls
A hot sun and a spade with no shade
And when it's cool
He digs six feet deep with zero rest
And one tool
He digs deeper with his mind and heart
No one's fool

Chorus

Have you heard about the one
Who keeps on digging deep
Whose work is never done
Since we all must go to sleep
He likes to work alone
Where the creatures crawl and creep
Clayton Digger will free your soul
While the living continue to weep
