Jakob Dylan - They've Trapped Us Boys lyrics

rate me

Gentlemen, where have we been?

Can't find the hole where we got in

We ain't had no letters since spring

Gentlemen, where have we been?

Ain't going nowhere now

Let this bottle make its rounds

And let this liquor settle down

We ain't going nowhere now

Darker than ever in the mine

Shine a light, shine a light

Holler back now, make some noise

I do believe they've trapped us boys

Fill the dirt back on the grave

Ain't nothing good here being raised

Look at the filthy mess we've made

Fill the dirt back on the grave

We cut the fruit, we took the tree

We chiseled all the branches free

We took more than we'd ever need

We cut the fruit, we took the tree

Darker than ever in the mine

Shine a light, shine a light

Holler back now, make some noise

I do believe they've trapped us boys

Can't have no one not toe the line

'Round here, it's always 'round midnight

Can't have no brothers left behind

Can't have no one not toe the line

That ain't the cavalry we heard

It's the rain that's crashing on the earth

Tell our women and our children we ain't hurt

But, no, it ain't the cavalry we heard

Darker than ever in the mine

Shine a light, shine a light

Holler back now, make some noise

I do believe they've trapped us boys
