Hellhounds bark at the midnight fire Fog rolls in, and the creek run higher They saw him standin' by the railroad tracks Tonight's the night old Floyd's comin' back
Down, down deep in the ground Is where his story stays
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's seen Mr. Collins, you did not die in vain
Strangers moved in, brought the circus to town You know, there's people makin' money off a man underground Somebody said they weren't doin' him right That's why old Floyd's comin' back tonight
Down, down deep in the ground Is where his story stays (so they say)
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's seen Mr. Collins, you did not die in vain
