Billy Elliot The Musical movie - Deep Into The Ground lyrics

rate me

<br>

Oh once I was a young man<br>

Looked over vales and hills<br>

Saw myself a future<br>

of riches and of thrills<br>

But on me fifteenth birthday<br>

I paid my union dues<br>

And they sent me deep into the ground<br>

<br>

Oh the winter wind can blow me colder<br>

Oh the summer's heat can parch me dry<br>

But I'll not leave here for a fortune<br>

I shall never leave here till I die<br>

<br>

Oh once I had a family<br>

Sons to make you proud<br>

They have gone and left me now,<br>

And I count the time out loud<br>

For now I am an old man<br>

Just waiting for my turn<br>

Till they take me back into the ground<br>

<br>

Oh the winter wind can blow me colder<br>

Oh the summer's heat can parch me dry<br>

But I'll not leave here for a fortune<br>

I shall never leave here till I die<br>

<br>

Oh the winter wind can blow me colder<br>

Oh the summer's heat can parch me dry<br>

But I'll love these dark, dark hills forever<br>

And I won't leave them until I die<br>

<br>

Oh once I loved a woman<br>

She meant all she world to me<br>

Saw ourselves a future<br>

As far as I could see<br>

But I was only forty-seven<br>

when they took her down from me<br>

And buried her deep<br>

<br>

BILLY<br>

Oh the winter wind can blow me colder<br>

Oh the summer's heat can parch me dry<br>

But I'll love these dark, dark hills forever<br>

And I won't leave them now until I die<br>

<br>
