[Verse 1]
E Em A7
Deep in the land of the hollows an' creeks
Em G
If'n you git lost you git lost fer weeks
Em7 A
Listen to the tale of a man who got lost
Em7 G A
A hundred feet under the winter frost
[Verse 2]
Em A7
Now Floyd was a reasonin' man;
Em G
He knew what he wanted an' he had a plan
Em7 A
He was jes' as smart as he was brave;
Em7 G A
He was gonna find him the perfect cave
[Chorus]
C C7 G A
Even Floyd knew somethin' wasn't right
C C7 G D
He was suff'rin' nightmares at night
[Verse 3]
Em A7
But he didn't worry 'bout what he dreamed;
Em G
Things was goin' good or so it seemed
Em7 A A7
Went lookin' fer his fortune under the ground...
Em7 G A7 E E
Sure enough his fortune is what he found

[Verse 1]
Dm G
The air was cold and the ground was wet
Dm F
I was just as muddy as a man could get
Dm G
Hadn’t any light but a little oil lantern
Dm G
Got you in so tight that you know you can’t turn back
Dm G
I was slippin' round on my belly an' knees
Dm F
I could feel my fingertips about to freeze
Dm G
I could almost see where the prisoner lay
F G
Just about t' holler when I heard him pray
