lyrics

I hate to see that yellow sun rise
Thought I’d forever closed my eyes
And I hate to see another day shine bright
Oh give me cold, dark, peaceful night

Put me way down in the ground
My soul is tired my heart is sore
I can’t climb this mountain anymore
So put me way down in the ground

Met a man who sold his soul
Didn’t have a dollar for the toll
And when he paid his fare for the boat ride there
He found the river was dry and bare

Penny knitted socks for all the men
Sold them at the roadside inn
Keeps them warm in their feet and warm in the sheets
Stays cold to everyone she meets

When that red sun sinks behind the hill
And the world is laying still
I’ll be up til the dawn digging six feet down
Gonna lay myself in the ground
