Don't Go Down to the Quarry

Don't go down to the quarry in the middle of the night

'Cause you'll never come back, you'll never be right

We lost Maggie there just last spring

And Big Ben Johnson, he couldn't do a thingBig Ben Johnson made a bet with Mad Man Mike

That he could cross the quarry in the middle of the night

Now he got there, 'bout halfway across

He started sinking down in the red clay mossNearby standin' on the tracks where the trains used to come

Was Mad Man Mike, beatin' on his drum

Laughin' out loud, eyes rollin' in his head

Standin' on the tracks in the Lucifer's steadWith a long red cape and fire in his eyes

He lifted up his hands to the midnight skies

And the thunder start to roll and the lightenin' flashed wild

And Big Ben Johnson start a cryin' like a childDon't go down to the quarry, don't, don't go down

Don't go down to the quarry, don't, don't go down

Don't go down to the quarry, don't, don't go down

Down, down, down, downThen the earth gave a shudder, the quarry start to split

Screamin' down went Johnson into the fiery pit

With a laugh that shivered the center of the bone

And Mad Man Mike just standin' there aloneHe's callin' all the people, to take their turn

And and fall into the pit and eternally burn

Down, down, don't , don't go down

Down, down, down, downWell Lucifer's caught on the railroad track

He's howlin' at the moon 'cause he can't come back

In the evenin' while we're sittin' there in front of the fire

We laugh at old Lucifer before we retireDon't go down to the quarry in the middle of the night

'Cause you'll never come back, you'll never be right

We lost Maggie there just last spring

And Big Ben Johnson, he couldn't do a thingDon't go down to the quarry, don't, don't go down

Don't go down to the quarry, don't, don't go down

Don't go down to the quarry, don't, don't go down

Down, down, down, downDon't go down to the quarry, don't, don't go down

Don't go down to the quarry, don't, don't go down

Don't go down to the quarry, don't, don't go down

Down, down, down, down, downDon't go down to the quarry, don't, don't go down

Don't go down to the quarry, don't, don't go down

Don't go down to the quarry, don't, don't go down

Down, down, down, down, down
