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