[A]I am not afraid when you call me down
Down the basement steps [E]under the h[A]ouse
D[A]own, down i[E]n the gr[A]ound
Bl[A]ack cows are limping, the white dogs bark
Crickets are screaming, sm[E]oke in the b[A]arn
J[A]ust like a field snake eating a mouse
Just like a bluegill h[E]ooked through its mo[A]uth
D[A]own, down i[E]n the gr[A]ound
C[A]ry for the toy trains lost in the snow
Cry for the dead deer surro[E]unded by cr[A]ows
Y[A]ou call me softly down in the dark
Down where the red worms c[E]ircle like sh[A]arks
D[A]own, down i[E]n the gr[A]ound
[A]Under the black mud in your quiet house
you have prepared my pl[E]ace to lie d[A]own
A ho[A]use in the rock where sorrows drown
Old man or baby m[E]ake no more so[A]und
D[A]own, down i[E]n the gr[A]ound
