The Hole He Said He'd Dig For Me

Jerry Lee Lewis

Transposer:

With this bank book in your hand and your arms around me Today you saw just how big one man can be Your so called friends gathered round as they laid him in the ground In the hole he said he’d dig he’d dig for me        Yes he thought he was a king my but he owned this whole wide world But if only he could come back and see His castle now would be on momma’s stone just two by three By the hole he said would dig he’d dig for me His money it could never buy like the gleam in your eyes The way you look when you stand so close to me As I walk off with his prize somehow I hope he was satisfied   In 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 now would be on momma’s stone just two by three By the hole he said he’d dig he would dig for me

La chanson évoque l'idée de la futilité des richesses et du pouvoir face à la mort. Elle raconte l’histoire d’un homme qui, bien qu’il se soit pris pour un roi, se retrouve finalement dépouillé de tout ce qui lui était précieux, notamment l’amour et la connexion humaine. Les images illustrent un contraste poignant entre ses prétentions mondaines et la réalité de son dernier repos, symbolisé par une simple tombe qui, au lieu d'un grand palais, représente l'humilité de la vie. Le contexte semble illustrer le chagrin d'un proche qui constate la vacuité de l’existence que cet homme a mené, et qui, malgré la tristesse, tient à souligner la valeur inestimable des relations humaines par rapport aux biens matériels.
