Don't Go Down to the Quarry |
Don’t go down to the quarry in the middle of the night |
You’ll never come back, you’ll never be right |
We lost maggie there just last spring |
And big ben johnson, he couldn’t do a thing |
Big ben johnson made a bet with mad man mike |
That he could cross the quarry in the middle of the night |
He got there, 'bout halfway across |
When he started sinking down in the red clay moss |
Nearby standin' on the tracks where the trains used to come |
Was mad man mike, beatin' on his drum |
Laughin' out loud, eyes rollin' in his head |
Standin' on the tracks in the lucifer’s stead |
With a long red cape and fire in his eyes |
He lifted up his hands to the midnight skies |
And the thunder start to roll and the lightenin' flashed wild |
And big ben johnson start a cryin' like a child |
Don’t go down to the quarry, don’t, don’t go down |
Don’t go down to the quarry, don’t, don’t go down |
Don’t go down to the quarry, don’t, don’t go down |
Down, down, down, down |
Then the earth gave a shudder, the quarry start to split |
Screamin' down went johnson into the fiery pit |
With a laugh that shivered the center of the bone |
Mad man mike just standin' there alone |
He’s callin' all the people, to take their turn |
And fall into the pit and eternally burn |
Down, down, don’t go down |
Down, down, down, down |
Lucifer’s caught on the railraod track |
He’s howlin' at the moon 'cause he can’t come back |
And in the evenin' while we’re sittin' there in front of the fire |
We laugh at old lucifer before we retire |
Don’t go down to the quarry in the middle of the night |
You’ll never come back, you’ll never be right |
We lost maggie there just last spring |
And big ben johnson, he couldn’t do a thing |
Don’t go down to the quarry, don’t, don’t go down |
Don’t go down to the quarry, don’t, don’t go down |
Don’t go down to the quarry, don’t, don’t go down |
Down, down, down, down |
