Down In The Ground Lyrics - Through The Trees - Handsome Family

I am not afraid when you call me down 

Down the basement steps under the house 

Down, down in the ground 

Black cows are limping, the white dogs bark 

Crickets are screaming, smoke in the barn 

Just like a field snake eating a mouse 

Just like a blue gill, hook through its mouth 

Down, down in the ground 

Cry for the toy trains lost in the snow 

Cry for the dead deer surrounded by crows 

You call me softly down in the dark 

Down where the red worms circle like sharks 

Down, down in the ground 

Under the black mud in your quiet house 

You have prepared my place to lie down 

A house in the rock where sorrows drown 

Old man or baby make no more sound 

Down, down in the ground
