Lou Reed Lyrics-55 – Dig my grave with a silver spade (from “See that My Grave Is Kept Clean”) (Now Playing Week 24)

(This is the final post in this series of Lou Reed Lyrics. Soon, I will compile posts #1 – #55 in one complete anthology. I hope you've enjoyed this series, and learned some interesting and relevant facts about the great artist / musician Lou Reed.)

Evocative and touching 

This is a Lou’s excellent cover version of the classic blues song by Blind Lemon Jefferson, “See that My Grave Is Kept Clean.”  Not only is the title evocative and touching, but the lyrics are among the best of all blues songs.    

Passionate, clean, and pristine 

Now that Lou is gone, it’s particularly moving to hear him sing this song with such passion.   

I believe posterity will ensure that his grave is kept clean.
