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
