Yonder Mountain String Band
Not Far Away
[Verse 1]
There's a deep dark hole in the mountain
Where the devil sleeps all the time
Guardin' his gold from the boys young and old
From the men who worked in the mine
From the men who worked in the mine

[Verse 2]
There's a deep dark hole in the mountain
Where we'd shovel and pick every day
Stealin' his gold, yeah, the boys young and old
They're gone but not far away
They're gone but not far away

[Chorus]
Oh, devil's dream in the mountain
Haulin' it down to the mill
Day after day, drawin' our pay
From a deep dark hole in the hill
From a deep dark hole in the hill

[Verse 4]
There's a deep dark hole in the mountain
That last shot was a bum
Let's muck her out, boys, and load 'er up
And blow her to kingdom come
We'll blow her to kingdom come
[Chorus]
Oh, devil's dream in the mountain
Haulin' it down to the mill
Day after day, drawin' our pay
From a deep dark hole in the hill
From a deep dark hole in the hill
