[Verse 1]
D# D#m G#7
Deep in the land of the hollows an' creeks
D#m F#
If'n you git lost you git lost fer weeks
D#m7 G#
Listen to the tale of a man who got lost
D#m7 F# G#
G# hundred feet under the winter frost
[Verse 2]
D#m G#7
Now Floyd was a reasonin' man;
D#m F#
He knew what he wanted an' he had a plan
D#m7 G#
He was jes' as smart as he was brave;
D#m7 F# G#
He was gonna find him the perfect cave
[Chorus]
B B7 F# G#
Even Floyd knew somethin' wasn't right
B B7 F# C#
He was suff'rin' nightmares at night
[Verse 3]
D#m G#7
But he didn't worry 'bout what he dreamed;
D#m F#
Things was goin' good or so it seemed
D#m7 G# G#7
Went lookin' fer his fortune under the ground...
D#m7 F# G#7 D# D#
Sure enough his fortune is what he found
Reprise
[Verse 1]
C#m F#
The air was cold and the ground was wet
C#m E
I was just as muddy as a man could get
C#m F#
Hadn’t any light but a little oil lantern
C#m F#
Got you in so tight that you know you can’t turn back
C#m F#
I was slippin' round on my belly an' knees
C#m E
I could feel my fingertips about to freeze
C#m F#
I could almost see where the prisoner lay
E F#
Just about t' holler when I heard him pray
[PRE-Chorus 1]
A B F#
Oh my lord, have mercy on my soul
A E B
Don’t let me die alone in this dark hole
A B F#
And when my savior is at hand
A E B
I’ll be sure to meet him on top of the land
[Chorus]
C#m F#
I won’t go diggin' round in the hollows and holes
C#m E
I’ma leave it up to the hogs and moles
C#m F#
Never set another foot inside a cave
E F#
If I make it out of this lonesome grave
B A E
And there he remains all alone
C#m F# C#m F#
In a cold Kentucky hillside
B A E
There he remains all alone
C#m F# C#m F#
In a cold Kentucky hillside
[Verse 2]
C#m F#
He was layin' still like he was dead
C#m E
Water drippin' down on top his head
C#m F#
Seven whole days he hadn’t had a crumb
E F#
His eyes were sunk and wearisome
C#m F#
He swallowed what I had right outta my hand
C#m E
Then he took some coffee from an old tin can
C#m F#
I told we would soon dig him outta this place
E F#
And a little smile goes across his face
[PRE-Chorus 2]
A B F#
He said boy, thank god that you are here
A E B
Now I know my rescue is near
A B F#
And when my time comes to die
A E B
I’ll be sure to do it where I can see the sky
[Chorus]
C#m F#
I won’t go diggin' round in the hollows and holes
C#m E
I’ma leave it up to the hogs and moles
C#m F#
Never set another foot inside a cave
E F#
If I make it out of this lonesome grave
B A E
And there he remains all alone
C#m F# C#m F#
In a cold Kentucky hillside
B A E
There he remains all alone
C#m F# C#m F#
In a cold Kentucky hillside
