Lyrics West Virginia Chocolate Drop - Larry and His Flask

West Virginia Chocolate Drop

This dreary forest glooming over my head
I can hear them creep through the bushes and the trees
All around me dark and deep
That wretched pain stabbing at me from within
Oh it’s just an old familiar friend come to see me once again
And now it’s just you and me and there’s no one else around
Time to get to business
Put that hammer down
I’ve come this far and I sure ain’t gonna stop
For that West Virginia
Chocolate Drop
Somewhere atop that mountain lies a demon put to rest
And around him lie the pages of the book
Of his own poor lonesome death
And the memories that haunt me of that battle that we won
They rise and fall and sink and swell as sure as the pointed sun
And I’ll never let my guard down for I know they’ll come again
And I’ll never let them mess me, no
Gonna fight hard as I can
I’ve come this far and I sure ain’t gonna stop
For that West Virginia
Chocolate Drop
Lord take me back to that water
And I’ll let everything go
Lord guide me down from that mountain
Oh, I’m coming down slow
And now it’s just you and me and there’s no one else around
Time to get to business
Put that hammer down
I’ve come this far and I sure ain’t gonna stop
For that West Virginia
Chocolate Drop
Chocolate Drop!
Chocolate Drop!
