C
Hello boys, I've been away
On a bit of a holiday
To the land where the rivers freely flow
And the cattle roam on the wild callagh
Walking home, three parts pissed
Fell in the road in the morning mist
I fell and tumbled in the hungry grass
That tells the tale of a terrible past
I screamed and rolled and dreamt I fell
Down in the depths of a freezing hell
With a man coming up with the bugs inside
Bouncing tooth in a skull that died
We laughed to old times and the bad old days
Gonna wrap me up and takin' me away
Four million people starved to death
Could smell the curse on their dying breath
Where no one ever wants to go

Chorus:
Am
Down in the ground where the dead men go
Down in the ground where the dead men go
Down in the ground where the dead men go
Down in the ground where the dead men go

To hell which circular all around
Down in the belly of the big cold ground
The moving shadows were everywhere
The very trees seemed to bend and stare
I remembered the dunes on a Sligo shore
Screamed and ran till I could run no more
Ran over the fields and across the moor
I ran in the house and slammed the door
Christ, what the hell's that over there?
A putrefying corpse sitting in that chair
Where no one ever wants to go

Chorus

Been drunk as a skunk since I've been home
From bar to bar, like a ghost I roamed
I can't forget those things I saw
Been down with the devil in the Dalling Road
One place I don't want to go

Chorus

Down in the ground where the dead men go
Down in the ground where the dead men go
