Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sister, quit your diggin' them holes
Sister, quit your diggin' them holes
You keep working that shovel
You're bound to meet the devil
[Verse 2]
I met a gal, she had a little demon
Hey, I met a gal, she had a little demon
She buried that demon in the desert dirt
But she couldn't kick the feeling
[Chorus]
The only thing that you'll find down there
Is a bed made up for your bones
If you say you can't stop, then you never will
Sister, quit your diggin' them, quit diggin' them
Quit diggin' them holes
[Verse 3]
If she can't get out of this place, there's gonna be trouble
If she can't get out of this place, there's gonna be trouble
She'll never find what she's digging for
She'll never have to dig no more
[Chorus]
The only thing that you'll find down there
Is a bed made up for your bones
If you say you can't stop, then you never will
Sister, quit your diggin' them, quit diggin' them
Quit diggin' them holes
[Outro]
Sister, quit your diggin' them holes
Sister, quit your diggin' them holes
You keep working that shovel
And you're bound to meet the devil
