Swallow me whole
The ground'll open up
And in I'll fall
Down down down
Mama set me up with a fine young thing
And he was gonna buy me everything
But he grabbed the hook
And took out for deep water
And pretty soon that fish
He pulled me in
It's gonna
Follow me home
Somewhere in the shadows there's a place for me
In the cold cold ground
Trouble's right behind me
There's hard times ahead
The devil's got his hammer
He's poundin' on my bed
Lost most my money
I'm on my last hand
I'm knockin' at hell's door with no weapon and no plan
Feelin' kinda timid like an egg without a shell
But if I've been just bluffing
I ain't gonna tell
It's gonna
Swallow me whole
The ground'll open up
And in I'll fall
Papa set me up
With a sharp-eyed boy
And I was gonna have him
For my toy
But he stole my heart
And took out for deep water
And pretty soon that shark
He pulled me in
Sky's full of lightening
The wind's spitting sand
Sun burning oh so hot it gave the earth a tan
The fish have all stopped jumping
The bedbugs are asleep
I'll lay myself beside you and pray my soul to keep
I wish I had a needle
As fine as I could sew
I'd stitch my baby to my side and down the road we'd go
My shovel struck sorrow
And the tears came running down
My shovel struck sorrow
And the tears came running down
My shovel struck sorrow
And the tears came running down
My shovel struck sorrow
And the tears came running down
Little fishes in the brook
Papa catch them with a hook
Brother clean it like a man
Mama fry it in the pan
It's gonna Swallow me whole The ground'll open up And in I'll fall Down down down Mama set me up with a fine young thing And he was gonna buy me everything But he grabbed the hook And took out for deep water And pretty soon that fish He pulled me in It's gonna Follow me home Somewhere in the shadows there's a place for me In the cold cold ground Trouble's right behind me There's hard times ahead The devil's got his hammer He's poundin' on my bed Lost most my money I'm on my last hand I'm knockin' at hell's door with no weapon and no plan Feelin' kinda timid like an egg without a shell But if I've been just bluffing I ain't gonna tell It's gonna Swallow me whole The ground'll open up And in I'll fall Papa set me up With a sharp-eyed boy And I was gonna have him For my toy But he stole my heart And took out for deep water And pretty soon that shark He pulled me in Sky's full of lightening The wind's spitting sand Sun burning oh so hot it gave the earth a tan The fish have all stopped jumping The bedbugs are asleep I'll lay myself beside you and pray my soul to keep I wish I had a needle As fine as I could sew I'd stitch my baby to my side and down the road we'd go My shovel struck sorrow And the tears came running down My shovel struck sorrow And the tears came running down My shovel struck sorrow And the tears came running down My shovel struck sorrow And the tears came running down Little fishes in the brook Papa catch them with a hook Brother clean it like a man Mama fry it in the pan Explain Request ×
