A lie to say "Oh, my mountain has coal veins and beds to dig
Five hundred men with axes and they all dig for me"
(same chords)
Oh no, never will he believe that his greed is 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 "Oh, my mine gave a diamond big as a fist"
Six deep in the grave
BRIDGE: His oldest pain and fear in life There'll not be time
(Something is out of reach, something he wanted)
His oldest pain and fear in life There'll not be time
(Something is out of reach, he's being taunted)
Oh no, hey hey,
(Something is out of reach, that he can't beg or steal)
Nor can he buy
A lie to say "Oh, my forest has trees that block the sun
ENDING: Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely man
