The Bottomless Hole
Handsome Family

My name I don't remember, though I hail from Ohio

I had a wife and children, good tires on my car

What took me from my home and put me in the earth

Was the mouth of a deep, dark hole I found behind my barn

We'd been filling it with garbage as long as you could count

Kitchen scraps and dead cows, tractors broken down

But never did I hear one thing hit the ground

And slowly I came to fear that this was a bottomless hole

I went out behind the barn and stared down in that hole

Late into the evening my mind would not let go

So I got out my ropes and a rusty claw-foot tub

And I rigged myself a chariot to ride down in that hole

My wife, she did help me, she fed me down the ropes

And then I sank away from the surface of this world

With the last rope pulled tight, I had not reached the end

And in anger I swung there, down in that dark abyss

Lyrics by Handsome Family

  24-Hour Store   A Shadow Underneath   Bury Me Here   Cathedrals   Down In The Ground   Down In The Valley Of Hollow Logs   Dry Bones   Everything that rises must converge   Fallen Peaches   Famous Blue Raincoat   Far From Any Road   Gail With The Golden Hair   I Fell   If the World Should End In Fire   If the World Should End In Ice   Last Night I Went Out Walking   My Ghost   My Sister's Tiny Hands   Sleepy   Stalled   The Giant Of Illinois   The Woman Downstairs   Weightless Again   Where The Birch Trees Lean   Whitehaven   Whitehaven
