Cold Cold Ground Lyrics

Cold Cold Ground lyrics

Oh the clock here in the barroom says its half past nine. Thats usually how long
it takes me to drink my first bottle of wine.



Yes every fifteen
minutes, I can drink another bottle down and get fifteen minutes closer to that
cold,cold ground, to that cold cold ground.



Well I think I'll play the
jukebox and light up another cigarette



They say for every puff of that
loving smoke you get another minute closer to death.



Well I smoke two
or three packs a day and my arithmatic is not to sound.



But I know I'm
getting hours closer to that cold,cold ground.



To that cold, cold
ground.



Now this morning I had me a woman and a love so nice and
fine.



But this evening I watched her board that train and move on down
the line.



Our love was so good but now she's gone and this is what I've
found.



Her leaving sure brought me closer to that cold, cold
ground.



To that cold, cold ground.



Well I'm standing in the
back alley with a pistol in my hand.



I never thought a womens love
could do this to a man.



I hear that hammr clickin',what a sweet,
terrible sound.



Let my tombstone read "no liquor, no smoke, no drugs,
but a woman's love put me in that cold, cold ground.Put me in that cold, cold
ground.
