It's gonna swallow me The ground will open up and in fall Down, down,
set me up with a fine young thing And he was gonna buy me But he grabbed the hook and took out for deep And pretty that fish, he pulled me in
It's follow me home in the shadows there's a place for me In the cold, cold
Trouble's right behind me there's hard times The devil's got his hammer, poundin' on my bed most my money I'm on my last hand I'm knockin' at hell's door no weapon and no plan Feelin' kinda timid like an egg a shell But if I've been bluffing, I ain't gonna tell
gonna swallow me whole The ground will up and in I'll fall
Papa set me up a sharp-eyed boy And I was have him for my toy But he stole my heart and took out for water And pretty soon shark, he pulled me in
Sky's full of the wind's spitting sand Sun burning oh, so hot it the earth a tan The fish all stopped jumping, the bedbugs are asleep I'll lay myself beside you and pray my soul to I wish I had a needle, as as I could sew I'd my baby to my side and down the road we'd go
My shovel struck sorrow and the tears came down My struck sorrow and the tears came running down My shovel struck sorrow and the tears running down My shovel sorrow and the tears came running down
Little fishes in the Papa catch with a hook clean it like a man fry it in the pan
