lyrics

Go down in the mountain
Get some cold pay for another day in hell
Just pray that whatever they dig up will sell

Just mind your, your own business
And keep on crawlin' down that hole
The eagle flies on Friday. Just let it roll

They buried that troublemaker
And the Yankee said “Now this town's in the bag”
And we're jumpin' to a tune called the Yankee Rag

You hold hands with the devil and you hold him tight
And he will try to help you make it through the night
So full of bread and wine you think you're Jesus Christ
When the company man says he can save your soul
For a price

His picture was on the front page
Of the papers blowin' down the old main drag
Drink up a- another round boys
To the Yankee Rag

You hold hands with the devil and you hold him tight
And he will try to help you make it through the night
So full of bread and wine you think you're Jesus Christ
When the company man says he can save your soul
For a price

The army come down with their guns now
To chase our women, how they boast and brag
Each dead soldier covered over
With a Yankee Rag

Just mind your, your own business
And keep a crawlin' down that hole
The eagle flies on Friday. Just let it roll
