[Verse 1: Psychobilly male lead, snarling psychobilly rave-up over slapped upright bass] Me and Lefty jumped the fence at Holy Rest at half past two With a shovel and a crowbar and a flask of somethin' blue Old man Vance went in the ground on Monday with a diamond on his hand And a mouth of solid gold, that's the word down at the stand The dirt was soft and fresh, we didn't even have to try Lefty hummed a psychobilly number with his collar turned up high Six feet ain't so far away when there's a diamond at the end Six feet's a little closer when you got a crooked friend [Hook: Psychobilly male lead, full slapped upright bass, pounding psychobilly drums, howling hook] Dig in, daddy-o, put your back into the hole There's a ring down in the dark and a mouth of solid gold It's Halloween at Holy Rest and nobody's gonna know Dig in, daddy-o, dig in, here we go [Verse 2: Psychobilly male lead, faster snarl, bars crack on the snare] Four feet down the crickets quit and the owls went quiet too Five feet down the dirt got warm like a pot of bubblin' stew Lefty laughed and said it's nerves, I said keep diggin', fool 'Cause the family of old man Vance ain't the kind that play it cool They were smilin' at the service, sons and daughters dressed in black Countin' up the will before the preacher turned his back Mighty quick to bury Daddy, read the paper out by noon Mighty quick to bury a man who was dancin' just last June [Hook: Psychobilly male lead, full slapped upright bass, pounding psychobilly drums, howling hook] Dig in, daddy-o, put your back into the hole There's a ring down in the dark and a mouth of solid gold It's Halloween at Holy Rest and nobody's gonna know Dig in, daddy-o, dig in, here we go [Verse 3: Psychobilly male lead, answering knock, the shovel hits wood, the band stops for one knock from below, then the slapped upright bass tears back in] Clunk, the shovel hit the lid and we both went white as chalk 'Cause the lid knocked back three times, and the buried never talk Lefty dropped the crowbar and went runnin' for the gate I said Lefty, get back here, if he's knockin', it ain't late We pried it with our fingers and there's Vance with his eyes wide Spittin' dirt and askin' which one of his sons said that he died He slid the diamond off his finger and he dropped it in my hand Said you came here robbin', daddy-o, you're leavin' as my man Then he dusted off his suit and he walked home down the hill And I hear his sons are runnin', and I hear they're runnin' still [Final Hook: Psychobilly male lead, full slapped upright bass, pounding psychobilly drums, howling hook] Dig in, daddy-o, put your back into the hole There's a ring down in the dark and a mouth of solid gold It's Halloween at Holy Rest and nobody's gonna know Dig in, daddy-o, dig in, here we go [End]
