Hello all:
A favorite dirge around here (my wife sings it) is "The Grave Digger's Song," a splendidly sepulchral number written in the (gasp!) Locrian mode. I can only give you the first four lines, but perhaps someone else can supply the rest of it. I'd offer more, but Caroline keeps more reasonable hours than I do.
Digging graves is my delight, Digging graves for you to lie in. Digging graves from morn till night; I makes my living from the dyin'.
Great song! Great tune!
Sandy
