Black Stone Cherry - Ghost Of Floyd Collins lyrics

rate me

Hellhounds bark at the midnight fire

Fog rolls in, and the creek run higher

They saw him standin', by the railroad tracks

Tonight's the nigh, old Floyd's comin' back

Down, down deep in the ground

Is 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 had seen

Mr. Collins you did not die in vain

Strangers moved in, brought the circus to town

You know, there's people makin' money off a man underground

Somebody said they weren't doin' him right

That's why old Floyd's comin' back tonight

Down, down deep in the ground

Is 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 had seen

Mr. Collins you did not die in vain

Down, down deep in the ground

Is where his story stays (so they say)
