Jesse Lenat - The Ballad of Floyd Collins lyrics

[JEWELL] Deep in the land of the hollows an' creeks If'n you git lost you git lost fer weeks Listen to the tale of a man who got lost A hundred feet under the winter frost [JEWELL & NELLIE] Now Floyd was a reasonin' man; He knew what he wanted an' he had a plan He was jes' as smart as he was brave; He was gonna find him the perfect cave [NELLIE, MISS JANE & HOMER] Even Floyd knew somethin' wasn't right He was suff'rin' nightmares at night [COMPANY] But he didn't worry 'bout what he dreamed; Things was goin' good or so it seemed. Went lookin' fer his fortune under the ground... [MILLER] Sure enough his fortune is what he found
