The Bottomless Hole

My name I don’t remember though I hail from Ohio ) I had a wife and children, good tires on my car What took me from my home and put me in the earth Was the mouth of the deep dark hole I found behind my barn We’d been filling it with garbage as long as you could count ) Kitchen scraps and dead cows, tractors broken down But never did I hear one thing hit the ground And slowly I came to fear, that this was a bottomless hole I went out behind the barn and stared down in that hole ) Late into the evening, my mind would not let go So I got out my ropes and a rusty claw foot tub And I rigged myself a chariot to ride down in that hole My wife she did help me, she fed me down the ropes ) And then I sank away from the surface of this world When the last rope pulled tight, I had not reached the end And in anger I swung there down in that dark abyss So I got out my knife, I told my wife goodbye ) I cut loose from the ropes and fell on down that hole And still I am there falling down in this evil pit But until I hit the bottom I won’t believe it’s bottomless Outro:
