| Don’t go down to the quarry in the middle of the night
|
| You’ll never come back, you’ll never be right
|
| We lost maggie there just last spring
|
| And big ben johnson, he couldn’t do a thing
|
| Big ben johnson made a bet with mad man mike
|
| That he could cross the quarry in the middle of the night
|
| He got there, 'bout halfway across
|
| When he started sinking down in the red clay moss
|
| Nearby standin' on the tracks where the trains used to come
|
| Was mad man mike, beatin' on his drum
|
| Laughin' out loud, eyes rollin' in his head
|
| Standin' on the tracks in the lucifer’s stead
|
| With a long red cape and fire in his eyes
|
| He lifted up his hands to the midnight skies
|
| And the thunder start to roll and the lightenin' flashed wild
|
| And big ben johnson start a cryin' like a child
|
| Don’t go down to the quarry, don’t, don’t go down
|
| Don’t go down to the quarry, don’t, don’t go down
|
| Don’t go down to the quarry, don’t, don’t go down
|
| Down, down, down, down
|
| Then the earth gave a shudder, the quarry start to split
|
| Screamin' down went johnson into the fiery pit
|
| With a laugh that shivered the center of the bone
|
| Mad man mike just standin' there alone
|
| He’s callin' all the people, to take their turn
|
| And fall into the pit and eternally burn
|
| Down, down, don’t go down
|
| Down, down, down, down
|
| Lucifer’s caught on the railraod track
|
| He’s howlin' at the moon 'cause he can’t come back
|
| And in the evenin' while we’re sittin' there in front of the fire
|
| We laugh at old lucifer before we retire
|
| Don’t go down to the quarry in the middle of the night
|
| You’ll never come back, you’ll never be right
|
| We lost maggie there just last spring
|
| And big ben johnson, he couldn’t do a thing
|
| Don’t go down to the quarry, don’t, don’t go down
|
| Don’t go down to the quarry, don’t, don’t go down
|
| Don’t go down to the quarry, don’t, don’t go down
|
| Down, down, down, down |
