歌词
Old man Fraser lived off the land
In a pasture near old Nederland
Once a week he made that 20 mile ride
Trading old wood for much needed supplies
On his land he kept 2 horses and a few cows
Working the land with over 40 acres to plough
But old man Fraser he had mouths to feed still
But he loved the cow; too kindhearted to kill
And he said:
"Swallow your misery
Dive into the mystery baby
And know I'll always have your back
Forgive your miseries
Life is a mystery baby
And who knows we might be coming back"
Mhhm, yea
Ba-ba-ba-ba, Baa-da-ba-bum,
Ba-ba-ba-ba, Baa-da-ba-bum,
Ba-ba-ba-ba, Baa-da-ba-bum,
Ba-ba-ba-ba, Ba-da-da-da-da-da
He worked long days all throughout 1869
After cripplin' his legs workin' that ol' black hawk mine
But old man Fraser he took no pity on himself
Though he was old broke and alone
And had close to no one else
And he said:
"Forgive your lies
And the pains in your life
And the strains on your mind
Cause you know you'll never find their answer!"
Swallow your misery
Dive into the mystery baby
And know I'll always have your back
Forgive your miseries
Life is a mystery baby
And who knows we might be coming back, oh yea
We might be coming back now, yea!
Da-da-da, Da-da-da-da,
Da-da-da, Da-da-da-da,
Da-da-da, Da-da-da-da,
Da-da-da-da, Da-da-da-da-da
One cold winter day when he was preparing the ride
After preppin' the load and keepin' it dry
A chain snapped on that rusty ol' caravan
Releasing the wood, pinning him down, and killing the man, woah!
Swallow your misery
Dive into the mystery baby
And know I'll always have your back
Forgive your miseries
Life is a mystery baby
And who knows we might be coming back
(We might be comin' back now yea!)
Da-da-da, Da-da-da-da,
Da-da-da, Da-da-da-da,
Da-da-da, Da-da-da-da,
Da-da-da-da, Da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da, Da-da-da-da,
Da-da-da, Da-da-da-da,
Da-da-da, Da-da-da-da,
Da-da-da-da, Da-da-da-da-da
