A Campfire Song by 10,000 Maniacs


A lie to say "o my mountain has coal veins and beds to dig

500 men with axes and they all dig for me"

A lie to say "o my river where many fish do swim

Half of the catch is mine when you haul your nets in"

 

Oh no never will he believe that

His greed has a blinding ray

No devil or redeemer will cheat him

He'll take his gold to where he's lying cold

 

A lie to say "o my mine gave a diamond big as a fist

But with every gem in his pocket the jewels he has missed?

A lie to say "o my garden is growing taller by the day

He only eats the best and tosses the rest away?

 

Oh no never will he believe that

His greed has a blinding ray

No devil or redeemer can cheat him

He'll take his gold where he's lying cold

Six deep in the grave

(his oldest pain and fear in life)

Something is out of reach

Something he wanted

(there'll not be time)

(his oldest pain and fear in life)

Something is out of reach

 

He's being taunted

(there'll not be time oh no)

Something is out of reach

(hey hey)

That he can't beg or steal

(nor can he buy)

 

A lie to say "o my forest has trees that block the sun

And when i cut them down i don't answer to anyone"

 

No no no never will he believe that

His greed has a blinding ray

No devil or redeemer can cheat him

Take his gold where he's lying cold

 

La la la la la la

La la la la la la

Oh la la la la la la la la la la

Love me love me love me love me now
