  Crest fallen sidekick in an old cafe

  Never slept with a dream before he had to go away

  There`s a bell in the tower Uncle Ray bought a round

  Don`t worry 'bout the army in the cold cold ground

  Cold cold ground

  In the cold cold ground

  In the cold cold ground

  Now don`t be a cry baby when there`s wood in the shed

  There`s a bird in the chimney and a stone in my bed

  When the road`s washed out, they pass the bottle around

  And wait in the arms,... of the cold cold ground

  Cold cold ground

  In the cold cold ground

  In the cold cold ground

  There`s a ribbon in the willow and a tire swing rope

  And a briar patch of berries takin` over the slope

  The cat`ll sleep in the mailbox and we`ll never go to town

  Till we bury every dream,... in the cold cold ground

  Cold cold ground

  In the cold cold ground

  In the cold cold ground

  Gimme a Winchester rifle and a whole box of shells

  Blow the roof of the goat barn, let it roll down the hill

  The piano is firewood, Times square is a dream

  I find we`ll lay down together,... in the cold cold ground

  Cold cold ground

  In the cold cold ground

  In the cold cold ground

  Call the cops on the Breedloves, bring a bible and a rope

  And a whole box of rebel and a bar of soap

  Make a pile of trunk tires and burn `em all down

  Bring a dollar with you baby,... in the cold cold ground

  Cold cold ground

  In the cold cold ground

  In the cold cold ground

  Take a weather vane rooster, throw rocks at his head

  Stop talking to the neighbours till we all go dead

  Beware of my temper and the dog that I`ve found

  Break all the windows,...... in the cold cold ground

  Cold cold ground

  In the cold cold ground

  In the cold cold ground
