Diggin' My Own Grave

From the Alligator Records release Fire It Up (AL 4852)
 By Tinsley Ellis
 Diggin' My Own Grave (Walker & Mirkitani)
 Four foot down a six foot hole
 Head first in the mud and cold
 My good sense is all but spent
 My pick is dull my shovel's bent
 I been workin' it
 Workin' it fast and hard
 I been slippin'
 Slippin' way too far
 I been diggin'
 My own grave
 Turn on the face with a deadly grin
 I scratch and claw in a bed of sin
 And I wait alone but it's hard to tell
 This ain't ever-lovin' hell
 I been workin' it
 Workin' it fast and hard
 I been slippin'
 Slippin' way too far
 That woman in trouble's all I crave
 I been diggin'
 My own grave
 (solo)
 Five foot down with a serpent's crawl
 It's hard to hear the rapture's call
 But now I don't care what they see
 Just throw that dirt all over me
 Wooo!
 I been workin' it
 Workin' it fast and hard
 I been slippin'
 Slippin' way too far
 That woman in trouble's all I crave
 I been diggin'
 My own grave
 Diggin' my own grave, yeah
 Wooo!
