Buxton — Down in the Valley lyrics

Lyrics

Down in the valley
Where the women are so kind
They all speak so purty
It just 'bout blows my mind
Wine, it flows like water
Through the river that cuts through the town
My love and I will go swimming
When no one else is around
But the thought of love gets in your skin
And in your bones and it breaks you like an egg
And this weight of fear falls upon you face
Like Hell’s spoken and it’s saving you a place
You turn the lights off
And you go lie down
Upon your bed
Children, they are playing
Silhouetted by the sun
Till Mother calls for dinner
And back to home they run
The old men on their porches
Puffin' on their pipes
The moment they are sleeping
The next thing beggin for their life
Turn the lights off
Go lie down
