"Ghost Of Floyd Collins" lyrics - BLACK STONE CHERRY

[Intro:]
Yeah, boy, I sure do. I remember yonder back yonder in the 20's. They said that, Floyd Collins, he'd been caught in that cave, sand cave down there. Once he got down there, he couldn't get out. So they just left him down there and they had the sermon for him right there. He just laid there and died

The hellhounds walking on midnight fire
The fog rolls in and the creek run higher
They saw him standing by the railroad tracks
Tonight's the night Old Floyd's coming back

Downtown deep in the ground
It's where his story stays

[Refrain:]
Down in mammoth cave
Is where his body laid
Walls came in, life could not be saved
No man-made machine
Could see the things he'd seen
Mr. Collins, he did not die in vain

The strangers moved in, brought the circus to town
You know there's people making money off the man underground
Somebody said they wouldn't doing him right
That's why old Floyd's coming back tonight

Downtown deep in the ground
It's where his story stays

[Refrain:]
Down in mammoth cave
Is where his body laid
Walls came in, life could not be saved
No man-made machine
Could see the things he'd seen
Mr. Collins, he did not die in vain

[Solo]

Downtown deep in the ground
It's where his story stays
So they say

[Refrain:]
Down in mammoth cave
Is where his body laid
Walls came in, life could not be saved
No man-made machine
Could see the things he'd seen
Mr. Collins, he did not die in vain
