Elton John - Deep Into The Ground lyrics

Oh once I was a young man Looked over vales and hills Saw myself a future Of riches and of thrills But on me fifteenth birthday I paid my union dues And they sent me deep into the ground Oh the winter wind can blow me colder Oh the summer's heat can parch me dry But I'll not leave here for a fortune I shall never leave here till I die Oh once I had a family Sons to make you proud They have gone and left me now And I count the time out loud For now I am an old man Just waiting for my turn Till they take me back into the ground Oh the winter wind can blow me colder Oh the summer's heat can parch me dry But I'll not leave here for a fortune I shall never leave here till I die Oh the winter wind can blow me colder Oh the summer's heat can parch me dry But I'll love these dark, dark hills forever And I won't leave them until I die Oh once I loved a woman She meant all she world to me Saw ourselves a future As far as I could see But I was only forty-seven When they took her down from me And buried her deep BILLY Oh the winter wind can blow me colder Oh the summer's heat can parch me dry But I'll love these dark, dark hills forever And I won't leave them now until I die
