The Hole He Said He'd Dig For Me (alt./ster.) Songtext
von Jerry Lee Lewis

With this bankbook in your hand
And your arms around me
Today you saw just how big
One man can be
His so-called friends gathered ′round
As they laid him in the ground
And the hole he said he'd dig
He′d dig for me
Yes he thought he was a king
Now that he owned this whole wide world
But if only he could come back
And see
His castle now would be
A marble stone just two by three
By the hole he said he would dig
He'd dig for me


His money it could never buy
That certain gleam in your eye
The way you look when you stand
So close to me
As I walked off with his pride
Somehow I hoped he was satisfied
And the hole he said he was gonna dig now
For me
Yes I thought he was a king
That he owned the world
But if only he could come back
Now and see
His castle would be
A marble stone just two by three
By the hole he said he'd dig
He would dig for me
