The Ballad of Floyd Collins
[JEWELL]
Deep in the land of the hollows an' creeks
If'n you git lost you git lost fer weeks
Listen to the tale of a man who got lost
A hundred feet under the winter frost
[JEWELL & NELLIE]
Now Floyd was a reasonin' man;
He knew what he wanted an' he had a plan
He was jes' as smart as he was brave;
He was gonna find him the perfect cave
[NELLIE, MISS JANE & HOMER]
Even Floyd knew somethin' wasn't right
He was suff'rin' nightmares at night
[COMPANY]
But he didn't worry 'bout what he dreamed;
Things was goin' good or so it seemed
Went lookin' fer his fortune under the ground...
[MILLER]
Sure enough his fortune is what he found
Deep in the land of the hollows an' creeks
If'n you git lost you git lost fer weeks
Listen to the tale of a man who got lost
A hundred feet under the winter frost
[JEWELL & NELLIE]
