Gone To Hell In A Basket Lyrics - Tom T. Hall

I fished the everglades for a while 

Lookin' through the darkness at those alligators' eyes 

Three days in the sun boys ah it made me well 

But back in Nashville they're just a givin' me hell 

Singing (he's gone to hell in a basket) one of those hand woven caskets 

You got a deep question please don't ask it but I've gone to hell in a basket 

Them air boat boys have got their nerve 

Right now they're eatin' all of 'em terrible preserves 

Singing my new song for a six pack of beer back in Music City this is all you can hear 

(He's gone to hell in a basket... 

Okefanokee ain't so much they say the grass ain't so tough 

These sawgrass neighbors know what life's all about 

Meanwhile back in Nashville they're still wearin' me out 

With (he's gone to hell in a basket... 

What you say (he's gone to hell in a basket... 

Yeah I know he's gone to hell in a basket...
