Cyrus Jones, 1810 to 1913

He could live to a hundred and three

A hundred and three is forever when you're just a little kid

So, Cyrus Jones lived forever

Am
Gravedigger
                G
When you dig my grave
                  E
Could you make it shallow

So I can feel the rain

You should never have to bury your own babies
