Mining Music
Timothy
By Rupert Holmes (The Buoys)
Verse 1:
Trapped in a mine
what had caved in
And everyone knows
the only ones left
Were Joe and me and
Tim
When they broke
through to pull us free
The only ones left to
tell the tale
Was Joe and me
Chorus 1:
Timothy, Timothy,
where on earth did you go?
Timothy, Timothy, God
why don't I know?
Verse 2:
Hungry as hell no
food to eat
And Joe said that he
would sell his soul
For just a piece of
meat
Water enough to drink
for two
And Joe said to me,
"I'll take a swig
And then there's some
for you."
Chorus 2:
Timothy, Timothy, Joe
was looking at you
Timothy, Timothy, God
what did we do?
Verse 3:
I must have blacked
out just 'round then
'Cause the very next
thing that I could see
Was the light of the
day again
My stomach was full
as it could be
And nobody ever got
around
To findin' Timothy
[repeat chorus 1]
Coda:
Timothy... [repeat to
fade]
