It's gonna swallow me The ground will open up and in I'll Down, down,
Mama set me up with a young thing And he was gonna buy me But he grabbed the and took out for deep water And pretty soon that fish, he me in
gonna follow me home Somewhere in the there's a place for me In the cold, cold
Trouble's right me there's hard times ahead The devil's got his hammer, he's on my bed Lost most my money I'm on my last I'm at hell's door with no weapon and no plan Feelin' kinda like an egg without a shell But if I've just bluffing, I ain't gonna tell
It's gonna swallow me The ground will up and in I'll fall
Papa set me up with a boy And I was gonna him for my toy But he stole my and took out for deep water And soon that shark, he pulled me in
Sky's full of lightning the spitting sand Sun burning oh, so hot it the earth a tan The fish have all stopped jumping, the bedbugs are I'll lay myself beside you and pray my soul to 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 struck and the tears came running down My shovel struck and the tears came running down My shovel struck sorrow and the tears came running My shovel struck sorrow and the tears came running
Little in the brook catch them with a hook Brother it like a man fry it in the pan
