E Em A7 Deep in the land of the hollows an' creeks Em G If'n you git lost you git lost fer weeks Em7 A Listen to the tale of a man who got lost Em7 G A A hundred feet under the winter frost
Verse 2
Em A7 Now Floyd was a reasonin' man; Em G He knew what he wanted an' he had a plan Em7 A He was jes' as smart as he was brave; Em7 G A He was gonna find him the perfect cave
Chorus
C C7 G A Even Floyd knew somethin' wasn't right C C7 G D He was suff'rin' nightmares at night
Verse 3
Em A7 But he didn't worry 'bout what he dreamed; Em G Things was goin' good or so it seemed Em7 A A7 Went lookin' fer his fortune under the ground... Em7 G A7 E E Sure enough his fortune is what he found Reprise
Verse 1
Dm G The air was cold and the ground was wet Dm F I was just as muddy as a man could get Dm G Hadn’t any light but a little oil lantern Dm G Got you in so tight that you know you can’t turn back Dm G I was slippin' round on my belly an' knees Dm F I could feel my fingertips about to freeze Dm G I could almost see where the prisoner lay F G Just about t' holler when I heard him pray

A# C G Oh my lord, have mercy on my soul A# F C Don’t let me die alone in this dark hole A# C G And when my savior is at hand A# F C I’ll be sure to meet him on top of the land
Chorus
Dm G I won’t go diggin' round in the hollows and holes Dm F I’ma leave it up to the hogs and moles Dm G Never set another foot inside a cave F G If I make it out of this lonesome grave C A# F And there he remains all alone Dm G Dm G In a cold Kentucky hillside C A# F There he remains all alone Dm G Dm G In a cold Kentucky hillside
Verse 2
Dm G He was layin' still like he was dead Dm F Water drippin' down on top his head Dm G Seven whole days he hadn’t had a crumb F G His eyes were sunk and wearisome Dm G He swallowed what I had right outta my hand Dm F Then he took some coffee from an old tin can Dm G I told we would soon dig him outta this place F G And a little smile goes across his face
PD-C horus 2
A# C G He said boy, thank god that you are here A# F C Now I know my rescue is near A# C G And when my time comes to die A# F C I’ll be sure to do it where I can see the sky
Chorus
Dm G I won’t go diggin' round in the hollows and holes Dm F I’ma leave it up to the hogs and moles Dm G Never set another foot inside a cave F G If I make it out of this lonesome grave C A# F And there he remains all alone Dm G Dm G In a cold Kentucky hillside C A# F There he remains all alone Dm G Dm G In a cold Kentucky hillside
