A Campfire Song |
A lie to say, «o, my mountain has coal veins and beds to dig |
500 men with axes and they all dig for me» |
A lie to say, «o, my river where many fish do swim |
Half of the catch is mine when you haul your nets in» |
Never will he believe that his greed is a blinding ray |
No devil or redeemer will cheat him |
He’ll take his gold to where he’s lying cold |
A lie to say, «o, my mine gave a diamond as big as a fist» |
But with every gem in his pocket, the jewels he has missed |
A lie to say, «o, my garden is growing taller by the day» |
He only eats the best and tosses the rest away |
Never will he be believe that his greed is a blinding ray |
No devil or redeemer can cheat him |
He’ll take his gold to where he’s lying cold |
Six deep in the grave |
His oldest pain and fear in life |
There’ll not be time |
His oldest pain and fear in life |
There’ll not be time |
Hey hey |
Nor can he buy. |
Something is out of reach |
Something he wanted |
Something is out of reach |
He’s being taunted |
Something is out of reach |
That he can' beg or steal |
A lie to say «o, my forest has trees that block the sun |
And when i cut them down i don’t answer to anyone» |
No, no, never will he believe that his greed is a blinding ray |
No devil or redeemer can cheat him |
He’ll take his gold where he’s lying cold |
Six deep in the grave |
