The Bottomless Lake - John Prine[00:00:01]
Heres the story of a man and his family[00:00:11]
And a big trip that they took[00:00:13]
Well I heard all about in a restaurant[00:00:16]
And I read it in a history book[00:00:19]
They rented a car at the erie canal[00:00:22]
But the car didn't have no brake[00:00:24]
Said ma to pa my God this car[00:00:27]
Is gonna fall into the bottomless lake[00:00:30]
Well mama turned to daddy with a pale face[00:00:38]
Said Ive done something horribly wrong[00:00:41]
Well the waters still runnin in the bathtub[00:00:43]
And I think I left the kitchen light on[00:00:46]
Then I heard a crash the car when splash[00:00:49]
And the compass rolled around and around[00:00:51]
Oh for heavens sake we fell in a lake[00:00:54]
And I think were all gonna drown[00:00:58]
We are falling down[00:00:59]
Down to the bottom of a hole in the ground[00:01:01]
Smoke em if you got em[00:01:03]
I'm so scared I can hardly breathe[00:01:04]
I may never see my sweatheart again[00:01:08]
There was plenty of food in the backseat[00:01:15]
And the windows were rolled up tight[00:01:18]
So we all nibbled on a chicken leg[00:01:21]
Told stories way thru the night[00:01:23]
Well pa told one that he told before[00:01:26]
And the baby got a bellyache[00:01:29]
Said ma to pa my God this car[00:01:31]
Falling down a bottomless lake[00:01:34]
We are falling down[00:01:37]
Down to the bottom of a hole in the ground[00:01:38]
Smoke em if you got em[00:01:41]
I'm so scared I can hardly breathe[00:01:42]
Never say is been hard agian[00:01:45]
Poppa played the music on the radio[00:01:58]
Mama rocked the baby to sleep[00:02:01]
He said he wouldve taken the other road[00:02:03]
But he didn't think the lake was that deep[00:02:06]
Well if the ferry been there at the end of the pier[00:02:08]
Wed be half way to uncle jakes[00:02:11]
Instead of looking at fish out the window I wish[00:02:14]
Wed hit the bottom of the bottomless lake[00:02:16]
Stead of looking at fish out the window I wish[00:02:19]
Wed hit the bottom of the bottomless lake[00:02:22]
We are falling down[00:02:24]
Down to the bottom of a hole in the ground[00:02:26]
Smoke em if you got em[00:02:29]
I'm so scared I can hardly breathe[00:02:30]
Never thin is been hard agian[00:02:33]
So if youre ever goin on a big trip[00:02:46]
Ya better be careful out there[00:02:48]
Start everything on you good foot[00:02:51]
And wear clean underwear[00:02:54]
Take along a Bible in the backseat[00:02:56]
Read of david and solomon[00:02:59]
For if you make a mistake in the bottomless lake[00:03:01]
You may never see your sweetheart again[00:03:04]
If you should make a mistake in the bottomless lake[00:03:07]
You may never see your sweetheart again[00:03:09]
If you should make a mistake in the bottomless lake[00:03:12]
You may never see your sweetheart again[00:03:14]
