You grab your magic lantern baby And head out to the woods You grab your magic lantern You head out to the woods Bring your spade and shovel Cause some digging'll do you good Now what's that you've been fixing Tongue and cheek and head And what's that you've been fixing baby Tongue and cheek and head Lick the gravy off your fingers, 'cause were running out of lead Dig my hole, baby dig my hole Well your daddy always told you Gotta keep your powder dry Your daddy always told you You gotta keep your powder dry Now you listen to your daddy Cause your daddy would never lie And you bring your Mexican blanket Just like you've been told And you bring your Mexican blanket baby Just like you've been told Because once the sun surrenders Well these woods start getting cold Dig my hole, dig my hole With lavender and lilac baby Your trusty burning sage I got your thread and needle baby And your burning bible page To soothe the raging devil That's been rattling your cage You kiss me pretty baby Put the copper on my eyes And you kiss me pretty baby Put the copper on my eyes And you tell me you forgive me Baby I know you lied Dig my hole, baby dig my hole
