I had me a wife, I had me some daughters.
I tried so hard, I never knew still waters.
Nothing to eat and nothing to drink.
Nothing for a man to do but sit around and think.
Nothing for a man to do but sit around and think.
Well, I'm a thinkin' and thinkin', 'til there's nothin' I ain't thunk.
Breathing in the stink, 'til finally I stunk.
It at that time, I swear I lost my mind.
I started making plans to kill my own kind.
I started making plans to kill my own kind.
Come little daughter," I said to the youngest one,
Put your coat on, we'll have some fun.
Go out to mountains, the one to explore.
Her face then lit up, I standing by the door.
Her face then lit up, I standing by the door.
Come little daughter, I will carry the lanterns.
Go out tonight, we'll go to the caverns.
Go out tonight, we'll go to the caves.
Kiss your mother goodnight and remember that God saves.
Kiss your mother goodnight and remember that God saves.
A led her to a hole, a deep black well.
I said "make a wish, make sure and not tell and
close you're eyes dear, and count to seven.
You know your papa loves you, good children go to heaven.
You know your papa loves you, good children go to heaven.
I gave her a push, I gave her a shove.
I pushed with all my might, I pushed with all my love.
I threw my child into a bottomless pit.
She screaming as she fell, but I never heard her hit.
She screaming as she fell, but I never heard her hit.
Gather round boys to this tale that I tell.
You wanna know how to take a short trip to hell?
It's guaranteed to get your own place in hell.
Just take your lovely daughter and push her in the well.
Take your lovely daughter and throw her in the well.
Don't speak to me of lovers, with a broken heart.
You wanna know what really tear you apart?
I'm going out to the barn, with a never stoppin' pain!
I'm going out to the barn, to hang myself in shame.

Review about Country Death Song Great First song to come off of Hallowed Ground | Reviewer: terry | 5/24/2008
My dad has the Hallowed Ground album and I listened to it because at that point I was just starting to listen to the Violent Femmes. This song was really really good. I was surprised that Gordon Gano wrote it in 10th grade.
