about

Probably the only song on the album that is completely in the spirit of the original Harry Smith anthology.

lyrics

Down in my hole I’m happy as a mole
Deep in the earth my face as black as coal

When life gets you down, go underground
When life gets you down, don’t hang around

Take to my wings I’m flying high in the sky
Don’t know where I’m going, don’t wonder why

When life gets you down, just stretch your wings
When life gets too hard, forget about those things
