| | Album: | Miscellaneous | | Track: | Stay Down Here Where You Belong 20 Oct 1914 | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 50 | | | | Lyrics: | 1st verse:]
Down below
Down Below
Sat the devil talking to his son
Who wanted to
go
Up above
Up above
He cried, "It's getting too warm for me down here and
so
I'm going up on Earth where I can have a little fun
The Devil simply shook his head and
answered his son
[chorus:]
Stay down here where you belong
The folks who live
above you don't know right from wrong
To please their kings they've all gone out to
war
And not a one of them knows what he's fighting for
'Way up above they say that
I'm a Devil and I'm bad
Kings up there are bigger devils than your dad
They're
breaking the hearts of mothers
Making butchers out of brothers
You'll find more hell up
there than there is down below
[2nd verse:]
"Kings up there
They don't
care
For the mothers who must stay at home
Their sorrows to bear
Stay at
home
Don't you roam
Although it's warm down below, you'll find it's warmer up
there
If e'er you went up there, my son, I know you'd be surprised
You'd find a lot of
people are not civilized | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
