Cold Cold Ground (2023 Remaster)

Crest fallen sidekick in an old cafe

Never slept with a dream before he had to go away

There's a bell in the tower, uncle Ray bought a round

Don't worry about the army in the cold, cold ground

Cold, cold ground

Cold, cold ground

Cold, cold ground

Now don't be a cry-baby when there's wood in the shed

There's a bird in the chimmney and a stone in my bed

When the road's washed out, we pass the bottle around

And wait in the arms of the cold, cold ground

Cold, cold ground

Cold, cold ground

Cold, cold ground

There's a ribbon in the willow, there's a tire swing rope

And a briar patch of berries takin' over the slope

The cat'll sleep in the mailbox and we'll never go to town

'Til we bury every dream in the cold, cold ground

In the cold, cold ground

The cold, cold ground

In the cold, cold ground

In the cold, cold ground

Gimme a Winchester rifle and a whole box of shells

Blow the roof off the goat barn, let it roll down the hill

The piano is firewood, Times Square is a dream

I find we'll lay down together in the cold, cold ground

Cold, cold ground

Cold, cold ground

In the cold, cold ground

We call the cops on the Breedloves, bring a bible and a rope

And a whole box of rebel, and a bar of soap

Make a pile of trunk tires and burn 'em all down

Bring a dollar with you, baby, in the cold, cold ground

In the cold, cold ground

In the cold, cold ground

In the cold, cold ground

Take a weathervane rooster, throw rocks at his head

Stop talking to the neighbors until we all go dead

Beware of my temper and the dog that I've found

Break all the windows in the cold, cold ground

In the cold, cold ground

In the cold, cold ground

In the cold, cold ground

In the cold, cold ground

In the cold, cold ground

In the cold, cold ground

In the cold, cold ground

In the cold, cold ground

In the cold, cold ground

In the cold, cold ground
