歌曲歌詞
Oh come all ye young people and listen while I tell
The fate of floyd collins the lad we all knew well
His face was fair and handsome
His heart was true and brave
His body now lies sleeping in a lonely sandstone cave
Oh mother don't you worry dear father don't be sad
I'll tell you all my stroy in an awful dream I had
I dreamed I was a prisoner my life I could not save
I cried "oh must I perish within this silent cave
The rescue party labored
They worked both night and day
To move the mighty barrier
That stood within their way
To rescue floyd collins it was their battle cry
"We'll never no we'll never let floyd collins die "
But on that fateful morning the sun rose in the sky
The workers still were busy
"We'll save him by and by "
But oh how sad the ending his life could not be saved
His body was then sleeping in the lonely sandstone cave
Young people all take warning from floyd collin's fate
And get right with your maker
Before it is too late
It may not be a sand cave in
Which we find our tomb
But on that day of judgment
We too must meet our doom
