I went up and down this holler hunting for you
Darling all I found was a hit of those bluegrass blues
Bluegrass blues a hit of those bluegrass blues
I pawned all my guns to get you a diamond ring
I worked down in the mines for far too long it seemed
For a ring a ring All for a dag-gum ring
I thought we were happy this morning you kissed my cheek
You told me you loved me to the great depths of the sea
The sea the great depths of the sea
Now I'm setting here staring at the walls in the trailer Is raised up in
Wondering little darling where in the hell you've been
You've been where in the hell you've been
I know I drink my whiskey as far as that I'm clean
But now that you're gone gonna call up my friend codeine
Codeine it's the nicest thing ive seen
