Ghost of Floyd Collins

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 I've 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 I've seen Mr. Collins you did not die in vain Down, down deep in the ground Is where his story stays (so they say) --- Ghost of Floyd Collins - Black Stone Cherry
