Enter The Haggis - The Ghosts of Calico lyrics

On my twenty-first day I came to Calico They told me there was silver buried in her stone Summer died in April before the flowers came She will hold me here until I strike my dying day I just keep on swinging, hold my hat brim low Dig a little deeper and like a seed, I'm sown She can break my spirit, back and arms and legs Though I may not stand I'm not bowing to her King They will tell you that your fortune lies this way But don't believe the lies you're told Spend a life time trying to dig an endless grave For the ghosts of Calico Hey Miss Lucy Bell Lane, why'd you have to go I can hear your sweet song when the south wind blows I won't forget your spirit and I won't forget your face I'll be waiting for you if you come back some day Take my last breath quickly, take it in my sleep Take it when I'm dreaming of a life in San Martin Everyone I know now's a dusty memory I can hear the wolves delivering my eulogy Oh Calico
