Lyrics

I'm digging you a shallow grave
An' to the Sun your face I'll raise
I'm digging you a shallow grave
One hundred buzzards buzzing
I seen death hanging from the tallest tree
Eyes closed no looking back at me
Yeah, they came an' took him in the night
The one who kissed them was greed
Oh, everyone will see
An' everyone will know
Boy you reap what you sow
I'm digging you a shallow grave
An' on your rotten bones I'll raise
Yellow daisies
For my true love's hair
One hundred buzzards buzzing
I see death running from his majesty
Oh, Lord where is the fear in me
In between your praying hands
You hold the skeleton key
Oh, everyone will see
An' everyone will know
Boy, you reap what you sow
