Dig a little ditch
Dig a little ditch
Dig a little ditch
And push the devil in

Dig a little ditch
Dig a little ditch
Dig a little ditch
And push the devil in

Oh you can try try try to mind your business
But there is someone who won't leave you alone
You can try try try to keep your nose clean
He'll track you down even in your home

What you gonna do when he's in your yard
Better pull that weed up by the roots
What you gonna do when he's on your back
Better pick up your shovel and put on your boots

You got to
Dig a little ditch
Dig a little ditch
Dig a little ditch
And push the devil in
Dig a little ditch
Dig a little ditch
Dig a little ditch
And push thе devil in

He will tell tеll tell you pretty stories
He will whisper right in your ear
He's studied all about your weakness
He knows all about your fear

What you gonna do when it all goes wrong
Better pull that weed up by the roots
What you gonna do when it all goes south
Better pick up your shovel and put on your boots

You got to
Dig a little ditch
Dig a little ditch
Dig a little ditch
And push the devil in

Dig a little ditch
Dig a little ditch
Dig a little ditch
And push the devil in
He'll slide up to you with a wicked grin
Say it's all over and the fix in
Only way out is to go right through it
Shovel full of dirt put your back into it

You got to
Dig a little ditch
Dig a little ditch
Dig a little ditch
And push the devil in

Dig a little ditch
Dig a little ditch
Dig a little ditch
And push the devil in
