Ghost of Floyd Collins - Black Stone Cherry

Yeah boy, I sure do, I remember yonder back yonder n' the 20's

They said that a Floyd Collins, he’d been caught in that cave

That sand cave down there, once he got down there he couldn’t get out

So they just left him down there and they had the sermon for him right there

He just laid there and died

The hell hounds walking on midnight fire

The fog rolls in and the creek run higher

They saw him standing by the railroad tracks

Tonight’s the night old Floyd’s coming back

Down, down, deep in the ground

It’s where his story stays

Down in mammoth cave is where his body laid

Walls caved in, life could not be saved

No man-made machine could see the things he’d seen

Mr. Collins, he did not die in vain

The strangers moved in, brought the circus to town

You know there’s people making money off the man underground

Somebody said, they wasn’t doing him right

That’s why old Floyd’s coming back tonight

Down, down, deep in the ground

It’s where his story stays

Down in mammoth cave is where his body laid

Walls caved in, life could not be saved

No man made machine could see the things he’d seen

Mr. Collins, he did not die in vain

Down, down, deep in the ground

Is where it stays, so they say

Down in mammoth cave is where his body laid

Walls cave in, life could not be saved

No man made machine could see the things he’d seen

Mr. Collins, he did not die in vain
