[Verse 1]
E Em A7
Deep in the land of the hollows an' creeks
Em G
If'n you git lost you git lost fer weeks
Em7 A
Listen to the tale of a man who got lost
Em7 G A
A hundred feet under the winter frost
[Verse 2]
Em A7
Now Floyd was a reasonin' man;
Em G
He knew what he wanted an' he had a plan
Em7 A
He was jes' as smart as he was brave;
Em7 G A
He was gonna find him the perfect cave
[Chorus]
C C7 G A
Even Floyd knew somethin' wasn't right
C C7 G D
He was suff'rin' nightmares at night
[Verse 3]
Em A7
But he didn't worry 'bout what he dreamed;
Em G
Things was goin' good or so it seemed
Em7 A A7
Went lookin' fer his fortune under the ground...
Em7 G A7 E E
Sure enough his fortune is what he found
Reprise
[Verse 1]
Dm G
The air was cold and the ground was wet
Dm F
I was just as muddy as a man could get
Dm G
Hadn’t any light but a little oil lantern
Dm G
Got you in so tight that you know you can’t turn back
Dm G
I was slippin' round on my belly an' knees
Dm F
I could feel my fingertips about to freeze
Dm G
I could almost see where the prisoner lay
F G
Just about t' holler when I heard him pray
[PRE-Chorus 1]
A# C G
Oh my lord, have mercy on my soul
A# F C
Don’t let me die alone in this dark hole
A# C G
And when my savior is at hand
A# F C
I’ll be sure to meet him on top of the land
[Chorus]
Dm G
I won’t go diggin' round in the hollows and holes
Dm F
I’ma leave it up to the hogs and moles
Dm G
Never set another foot inside a cave
F G
If I make it out of this lonesome grave
C A# F
And there he remains all alone
Dm G Dm G
In a cold Kentucky hillside
C A# F
There he remains all alone
Dm G Dm G
In a cold Kentucky hillside
[Verse 2]
Dm G
He was layin' still like he was dead
Dm F
Water drippin' down on top his head
Dm G
Seven whole days he hadn’t had a crumb
F G
His eyes were sunk and wearisome
Dm G
He swallowed what I had right outta my hand
Dm F
Then he took some coffee from an old tin can
Dm G
I told we would soon dig him outta this place
F G
And a little smile goes across his face
[PRE-Chorus 2]
A# C G
He said boy, thank god that you are here
A# F C
Now I know my rescue is near
A# C G
And when my time comes to die
A# F C
I’ll be sure to do it where I can see the sky
[Chorus]
Dm G
I won’t go diggin' round in the hollows and holes
Dm F
I’ma leave it up to the hogs and moles
Dm G
Never set another foot inside a cave
F G
If I make it out of this lonesome grave
C A# F
And there he remains all alone
Dm G Dm G
In a cold Kentucky hillside
C A# F
There he remains all alone
Dm G Dm G
In a cold Kentucky hillside
