lyrics

Soon as I'd first met her
I had laid my claim
I drove my stake down in the dirt
As she shivered in the rain
And once her pretty eyes were closed
I started diggin' in the ground
I'm goin' down

Well, I loved her for a year or two
Until the seam was dry
And when she'd given all she could
I finally said goodbye
She cried for so long
That in her tears she drowned
I'm goin' down

So, I guess that you could call me
A prospector of the soul
Lord knows the work is dirty
But I mine out all the gold
And now I'm headin' on
To the other side of town
I'm goin' down
