Ghost of Floyd Collins |
| Yeah boy, I sure do, I remember yonder back yonder n' the 20's |
| They said that a Floyd Collins, he’d been caught in that cave |
| That sand cave down there, once he got down there he couldn’t get out |
| So they just left him down there and they had the sermon for him right there |
| He just laid there and died |
| The hell hounds walking on midnight fire |
| The fog rolls in and the creek run higher |
| They saw him standing by the railroad tracks |
| Tonight’s the night old Floyd’s coming back |
| Down, down, deep in the ground |
| It’s where his story stays |
| Down in mammoth cave is where his body laid |
| Walls caved in, life could not be saved |
| No man-made machine could see the things he’d seen |
| Mr. Collins, he did not die in vain |
| The strangers moved in, brought the circus to town |
| You know there’s people making money off the man underground |
| Somebody said, they wasn’t doing him right |
| That’s why old Floyd’s coming back tonight |
| Down, down, deep in the ground |
| It’s where his story stays |
| Down in mammoth cave is where his body laid |
| Walls caved in, life could not be saved |
| No man made machine could see the things he’d seen |
| Mr. Collins, he did not die in vain |
| Down, down, deep in the ground |
| Is where it stays, so they say |
| Down in mammoth cave is where his body laid |
| Walls cave in, life could not be saved |
| No man made machine could see the things he’d seen |
| Mr. Collins, he did not die in vain |
