Cold, cold ground

Crest fallen sidekick in an old cafe

Never slept with a dream before he had to go away

There`s a bell in the tower Uncle Ray bought a round

Don`t worry ’bout the army in the cold cold ground

Cold cold ground

In the cold cold ground

In the cold cold ground

Now don`t be a cry baby when there`s wood in the shed

There`s a bird in the chimney and a stone in my bed

When the road`s washed out, they pass the bottle around

And wait in the arms,… of the cold cold ground

Cold cold ground

In the cold cold ground

In the cold cold ground

There`s a ribbon in the willow and a tire swing rope

And a briar patch of berries takin` over the slope

The cat`ll sleep in the mailbox and we`ll never go to town

Till we bury every dream,… in the cold cold ground

Cold cold ground

In the cold cold ground

In the cold cold ground

Gimme a Winchester rifle and a whole box of shells

Blow the roof of the goat barn, let it roll down the hill

The piano is firewood, Times square is a dream

I find we`ll lay down together,… in the cold cold ground

Cold cold ground

In the cold cold ground

In the cold cold ground

Call the cops on the Breedloves, bring a bible and a rope

And a whole box of rebel and a bar of soap

Make a pile of trunk tires and burn `em all down

Bring a dollar with you baby,… in the cold cold ground

Cold cold ground

In the cold cold ground

In the cold cold ground

Take a weather vane rooster, throw rocks at his head

Stop talking to the neighbours till we all go dead

Beware of my temper and the dog that I`ve found

Break all the windows,…… in the cold cold ground

Cold cold ground

In the cold cold ground

In the cold cold ground
