《Man in the Hole》歌词

[00:00:00] Man In The Hole - Richard Julian

[00:00:01] The X marked the spot

[00:00:04] Where the treasure was rumored to be

[00:00:09] Or so said the map

[00:00:13] And so began his odyssey

[00:00:17] Farewell to my sister

[00:00:20] Farewell to my friends and the town

[00:00:26] And the journey was made

[00:00:28] And he planted his spade in the ground

[00:00:32] So it was he became renowned

[00:00:36] As the man in the hole

[00:00:45] And he dug and he dug yielding none

[00:00:50] But a porcelain shard and a key

[00:00:53] Came the point where the weak will succumb

[00:00:58] But no sir no quitter was he

[00:01:02] Oh my how conspicuous

[00:01:04] A man who can stick to his guns

[00:01:10] Said the raving young beauty

[00:01:13] Who came bearing cinnamon buns

[00:01:17] That she baked on the night before

[00:01:20] For the man in the hole

[00:01:30] And looking her over he stopped

[00:01:33] Long enough to say thanks for the roll

[00:01:38] Ate the icing clean of the top

[00:01:42] And went right back to digging his hole

[00:01:47] She was in awe of him

[00:01:49] Saw in him something unique

[00:01:55] And she rose to defend him

[00:01:57] When gossips attempted to speak

[00:02:01] All the while with the pile growing steeper

[00:02:05] Even she came to call him insane

[00:02:09] He just kept digging deeper and deeper

[00:02:14] So deep you could smell the chow mien

[00:02:18] His family his friends nobody made sense anymore

[00:02:27] Ye with no faith go away go away from my door

[00:02:32] Cried the man cried the man in the hole

[00:02:41] Cried the man cried the man in the hole

[00:03:02] And he dug and he dug and he dug

[00:03:05] Till one morning he struck something hard

[00:03:10] Yes and lifting the trough from the mud

[00:03:15] He fell to his knees oh my God

[00:03:19] But only the sparrows would hear

[00:03:21] The great cheer he let go

[00:03:27] As his call for a witness was answered

[00:03:30] By his echo

[00:03:33] As it ricocheted down the trail

[00:03:36] Of the man in the hole

[00:03:58] And so finally the ultimate twist

[00:04:02] As the walls had grown too steep to climb

[00:04:06] There would be no way out of the ditch

[00:04:11] And the man saw his fatal design

[00:04:15] So he covered the floor

[00:04:18] With sapphires rubies and pearls

[00:04:24] Built a throne out of gold

[00:04:26] Where alone he grew old in his world

[00:04:32] Goes the tale of the man in the hole
