Lyrics
Mammoth Cave
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Got my flashlight
Two by four
Necessary precaution
Plants at the entrance
Flies at the exit
Way down deep
In the darkest hole
Lost my way
Lost my soul
You can dig my grave
In Mammoth Cave
I would of brought a sharp object, yeah
But they've taken mine all away
All away
I pretended I wasn't scared
Something fucking stinks in here
Like a sump pump in a sewer
What the hell was I thinking?
Way down deep
In the darkest hole
Lost my way
Lost my soul
You can dig my grave
You can dig me a hole
In the Mammoth Cave
Mammoth Cave.
