Lyrics

[00:08.55] JEWELL: Deep in the land of the hollows an' creeks
[00:11.99] If'n you git lost you git lost fer weeks
[00:14.99] Listen to the tale of a man who got lost
[00:19.06] A hundred feet under the winter frost
[00:24.07] JEWELL & NELLIE: Now Floyd was a reasonin' man
[00:27.70] He knew what he wanted an' he had a plan
[00:31.04] He was jes' as smart as he was brave
[00:34.81] He was gonna find him the perfect cave
[00:40.19] NELLIE, MISS JANE & HOMER: Even Floyd knew somethin' wasn't right
[00:47.23] He was suff'rin' nightmares at night
[00:55.73] NELLIE, MISS JANE & HOMER: But he didn't worry 'bout what he dreamed
[00:59.37] Things was goin' good or so it seemed
[01:02.77] Went lookin' fer his fortune under the ground...
[01:08.35] MILLER: Sure enough his fortune is what he found
