Graveyard
D. Lee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is a low down dirty place
You know they tell me the graveyard, graveyard
Is a low down dirty place
They takin' my baby to the graveyard
And they pack dirt in her face
I followed that long black wagon, long black wagon down to the graveyard
I followed that long black wagon to the graveyard
Watched them pack dirt in my baby's face
Mr. Graveyard Digger, why you wanna take my baby away?
I waved bye-bye, bye at my baby
As they was lettin' her down in her grave (yes I did)
Lettin' her down, lettin' her down in her grave
I'm gonna bring you some flowers baby, bring you some flowers
On every decoration day, baby
Gonna decorate your grave baby
On every decoration day
Poor me, poor me, poor me
Mm poor me, poor, poor me
I ain't got nobody baby
I ain't got nobody baby
All I got in the world
Have passed away
My baby gone
Have passed away
D. Lee's song "Graveyard" is a heartbreaking blues track about losing someone close to you and watching as they are taken away to the cemetery. The lyrics depict the emotions of someone who is grieving and struggling to come to terms with the loss of a loved one.
The first two lines of the song serve as a warning to the listener that the lyrics are going to take them to a dark and sad place. The graveyard is described as a "low down dirty place," emphasizing the bleakness and loneliness of death. The repetition of the line "They takin' my baby to the graveyard" highlights the singer's disbelief and pain at having to part with a loved one.
The second verse is particularly poignant, focusing on the sadness of watching your loved one being buried. The singer follows the "long black wagon" to the grave and witnesses "Mr. Graveyard Digger" pack dirt onto their baby's face. The use of the word "baby" suggests that the lost loved one was young, innocent, and vulnerable.
The final verse speaks to the loneliness that comes with grieving. The singer has nobody left and must decorate their loved one's grave alone. The repetition of "poor me" emphasizes the singer's feeling of isolation and despair.
Overall, the song is a powerful representation of the pain and sadness that comes with death. It highlights the heart-wrenching feelings of those left behind and the weight of the burden of grief.

I like the characters in fantasy high subvert stereotypes and expectation.
A Halfing mailman that looks, and speak jolly and is also a family man but he might actually be part of an anarchist secret organization that aims to topple the government.
A pirate(privateer) swash bockling brown hole stabbing captain kind of a guy but is actually a great family man that supports his wife and son, and teaches his son the reality of what he will face in himself and in the future.
A junky that sells drugs and has lycanthropy because he can't afford health care is actually a great guidance councilor that really help kids face their depression and their sad life.
Love this characters on who they are.
