The Onion Field

	I'm going down to the Onion Field
	To make it all right
	I'm going down to the Onion Field
	And it's not for the first time
	Girl, you're too good for this world
	And it hurts too bad, it hurts too bad
	My dear, there's no future for you here
	And my mind's made up, it can't go on this way
	Now it's dark, oh, now it's dark
	And they won't even know we're gone
	So keep very still
	No one can hurt you
	Down in the Onion Field
	I'm going down these days
	And I'm damned if you'll get pulled down with me
	There's not a single sound from the phone
	When your friends don't want to know you
	I know it's not right
	This isn't what I promised you
	But now my hands are tied
	Just the same as when the ship goes down
	And the captain stays inside.
	You're too good to go that way, too good for this world
	For slow death in a country town
	You're too good for this world, something had to be done
	And now it's dark, now it's dark
	So keep very still
	Nothing can hurt you
	Under the Onion Field
