Black Stone Cherry - Ghost of Floyd Collins lyrics
[Black Stone Cherry - Ghost of Floyd Collins lyrics]
Yeah, boy, I sure do i remember yonder back
Yonder in the 20's they said that, floyd
Collins, he'd been caught in that cave
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 hellhounds 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
Downtown deep in the ground
It's where his story stays
Down in mammoth cave is where his body laid
Walls came 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 wouldn't doing him right
That's why old Floyd's coming back tonight
Downtown deep in the ground
It's where his story stays
Down in mammoth cave is where his body laid
Walls came 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
Downtown deep in the ground
It's where his story stays so they say
Down in mammoth cave is where his body laid
Walls came 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
Yonder in the 20's they said that, floyd
Collins, he'd been caught in that cave
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 hellhounds 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
Downtown deep in the ground
It's where his story stays
Down in mammoth cave is where his body laid
Walls came 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 wouldn't doing him right
That's why old Floyd's coming back tonight
Downtown deep in the ground
It's where his story stays
Down in mammoth cave is where his body laid
Walls came 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
Downtown deep in the ground
It's where his story stays so they say
Down in mammoth cave is where his body laid
Walls came 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
