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 the hook and took out for deep water And pretty soon that fish, he me in
It's gonna follow me in the shadows there's a place for me In the cold, cold
Trouble's right behind me there's times ahead The devil's got his hammer, poundin' on my bed Lost most my money I'm on my hand I'm knockin' at door with no weapon and no plan kinda timid like an egg without a shell But if been just bluffing, I ain't gonna tell
It's swallow me whole The ground will up and in I'll fall
Papa set me up a sharp-eyed boy And I was gonna him for my toy But he my heart and took out for deep water And soon that shark, he pulled me in
Sky's full of lightning the wind's spitting Sun burning oh, so hot it the earth a tan The have all stopped jumping, the bedbugs are asleep I'll lay myself beside you and pray my to keep I wish I had a needle, as as I could sew I'd stitch my baby to my side and the road we'd go
My struck sorrow and the tears came running down My struck sorrow and the tears came running down My shovel struck sorrow and the tears came down My shovel struck sorrow and the tears came down
Little in the brook Papa catch them a hook Brother it like a man fry it in the pan
