Dont Go Down To The Quarry

DON’T GO DOWN TO THE QUARRY Peter Paul & Mary Key G (these are instruction for the 2nd voice sound effects) [Intro] / / [Chorus] Don’t go down to the quarry in the middle of the night ’cause you’ll never come back you’ll never be right We lost Maggie there just last spring And Big Ben Johnson he couldn’t do a thing (Ha ha ha ha!) [Verse 1] Big Ben Johnson made a bet with Mad Man Mike That he could cross the quarry in the middle of the night A He got there ’bout halfway across              (slurp slurp...) He started sinking down in the red clay moss. [Verse 2] Nearby standin’ on the tracks where the trains used to come Was Mad Man Mike beatin’ on his drum Laughin’ out loud eyes rollin’ in his head Standin’ on the tracks in Lucifer’s stead [Verse 3] With a long red cape and fire in his eyes He lifted up his hands to the midnight skies And the thunder start to roll and the lightenin’ flashed wild                              (thunder sounds) And Big Ben Johnson start a cryin’ like a child. [Bridge] (soft crying and moaning) Don’t go down to the quarry don’t don’t go down Don’t go down to the quarry don’t don’t go down Don’t go down to the quarry don’t don’t go down Down down down down [Verse 4] Then the earth gave a shudder the quarry start to split Screamin’ down went Johnson into the fiery pit With a laugh that shivered the center of the bone Mad Man Mike just standin’ there alone [Verse 5] He’s callin’ all the people to take their turn And fall into the pit and eternally burn (Ah! Ha Ha ha ha ha!) Down down don’t go down (Ah! Ha Ha ha ha ha!) Down down down down [Verse 6] Oh Lucifer’s caught on the railraod track He’s howlin’ at the moon ’cause he can’t come back          (soft howeling) In the evenin’ while we’re sittin’ there in front of the fire We laugh at old Lucifer before we retire [Chorus] Don’t go down to the quarry in the middle of the night ’cause you’ll never come back you’ll never be right We lost Maggie there just last spring And Big Ben Johnson he couldn’t do a thing [Outro] Don’t go down to the quarry don’t don’t go down Don’t go down to the quarry don’t don’t go down Don’t go down to the quarry don’t don’t go down Down down down down. Don’t go down to the quarry don’t don’t go down Don’t go down to the quarry don’t don’t go down Don’t go down to the quarry don’t don’t go down Down down down down. Don’t go down to the quarry don’t don’t go down Don’t go down to the quarry don’t don’t go down Don’t go down to the quarry don’t don’t go down Down down down down.
