Down in the Valley

Down in the valley

Where the women are so kind

They all speak so purty

It just about blows my mind

The wine, it flows like water

Through the river that cuts through the town

My love and I will go swimming

When no one else is around

But the thought of love

Gets in your skin and in your bones

And it breaks you like an egg

And this wave of fear falls upon your face

Like hell spoken at saving you a place

Turn the lights off and you go and lie down

Upon your bed

The children, they are playing

Silhouetted by the sun

Their mother calls for dinner

And back to home they'll run

The old men on their porches

Puffing on their pipes

One moment they are sleeping

The next they're begging for their lives

But the thought of love

Gets in your skin and in your bones

And it breaks you like an egg

And this wave of fear falls upon your face

Like hell spoken at saving you a place

Turn the lights off and you go and lie down

Turn the lights off and you go and lie down

Upon your bed
