Diggin a hole
Deep beneath the snow
Where the dead all go
Where they stay
Rattling bone
Caw of the crow
Is where you’ll go
We all go
Chorus
So dig your hole
Build your box
Dig your hole
Check for rocks
Well you ride the hearse
Best get your ticket first
Or you’ll be drug
Through the snow
And where you'll go
There’ll be snow
Cuz it burns like hell
In the fire
chorus x2
Got a wife at home
And she won’t go
Cuz she don’t know
Where you been
Cuz you been around
Ya you been around
Didn’t kiss no ground
At her feet
You were down the street
yeah down the street
And now you’ll meet
the Devil
chorus x2

A Dozen Roses

CHORUS
Well I bought her a dozen roses
On the night she left home
Now I just sit here lonesome
And she’s free to roam
And if I had one shot to tell her
Just how I feel
It wouldn’t matter, her minds made up
Guess I’ll miss me another meal
The wells dried up, the windows shut
There’s ghosts in the halls
And even though I took her photos down
She still haunts my walls
And no amount of spirits
Can quench my thirst
The clock is slowly ticking
As I wait for my hearse
She came in once while I was out
Drowning my sins
She packed and took up everything
All her little things
She left just one trinket
On the stand by the bed
The golden ring I bought for her
My old heart it bled
CHORUS
So if your woman tries to leave you
Don’t let her my friend
Hold onto her tightly
Never let it end
Cuz life without her
Just don’t make sense
Don’t let your glass
Fill up with regret.
Well I bought her a dozen roses
On the night
She left

The Eyes That Swirl

Eyes on the curb
He misses the girl
With the eyes that swirl
And looks that kill
If he had known
The beauty before him
That girl that walked by
Would take his life
Woah he’s gotta look around
And keep his feet on solid ground
Keep both eyes in the air
And he’ll see
He turned around
His jaw hit the ground
Her eyes he found
And thought what a thrill
He should have known
That beauty before him
She’d take his whole world
If she could
And ask him she did
She passed him the pen
His greatest sin
Was Love on a lease
Oh Love on a lease
It’ll break a poor man’s teeth
It’ll snap ‘em right off
Well you’ll see
Woah you gotta look around
And keep your feet on solid ground
keep both eyes in the air
and you'll see

Take Me
06:09

You could ask me again
But I’m not okay
Eyes have grown cold now
I’ve nothing to say
Strong drink in my left
Blues harp in my right
Touch both to my lips
But, it still ain’t right
Feel surrounded by death
Don’t miss a step
Keep a head on your shoulders boy
You could be next
Death doesn’t wait
He’ll hunt you down
He wants us all
Down, deep underground
Oh Death
Why did it have to be us?
O Can’t you see Death?
We’ve been through enough
Oh Death
Just let them be
Leave them alone
Take me, take me
(Chorus) x2
Take Me
Take Me
Take Me
Oh Take Me
Take me down
Far down below
Take me Devil
Where there’s nowhere to go
Hey Devil
I said "look at me"
Look in my eyes
O Devil can’t you see?
Look in my eyes
Don’t look away
Oh Mr. Devil won’t you
Take me
Take my heart
Oh take my soul
It can be yours
I won’t need it no more
CHORUS
take it Mister
Leave me to rot
Take it all
Take all I’ve got
For I’m a man
Who’s lost a lot
Lost my Father, now
I’m left with naught
Oh Devil
I said, look at me
I’m the one you want
Come on, take me
I am but young
Many years left
Take my life
Take my beating chest
Take my Joy
Take my Love
Take my whole world
I’ve had enough.
CHORUS
(Take, Take, O Devil, Devil, Take, O Devil Take)
