I remember from about 40 years ago a song that I have never been able to find again entitled "They're digging up grandfather's grave to build a sewer." Does anyone know it. Some of the fragments I can remember (not too accurately perhaps):

O he never was a quitter And he ain't no quitter now. O he'll wrap up in a sheet And he'll haunt that shithouse seat For the desecratin' of a British workman's grave.

I can't remember the book I saw it in.
