Man In The Hole - Richard Julian[00:00:00]

The X marked the spot[00:00:01]

Where the treasure was rumored to be[00:00:04]

Or so said the map[00:00:09]

And so began his odyssey[00:00:13]

Farewell to my sister[00:00:17]

Farewell to my friends and the town[00:00:20]

And the journey was made[00:00:26]

And he planted his spade in the ground[00:00:28]

So it was he became renowned[00:00:32]

As the man in the hole[00:00:36]

And he dug and he dug yielding none[00:00:45]

But a porcelain shard and a key[00:00:50]

Came the point where the weak will succumb[00:00:53]

But no sir no quitter was he[00:00:58]

Oh my how conspicuous[00:01:02]

A man who can stick to his guns[00:01:04]

Said the raving young beauty[00:01:10]

Who came bearing cinnamon buns[00:01:13]

That she baked on the night before[00:01:17]

For the man in the hole[00:01:20]

And looking her over he stopped[00:01:30]

Long enough to say thanks for the roll[00:01:33]

Ate the icing clean of the top[00:01:38]

And went right back to digging his hole[00:01:42]

She was in awe of him[00:01:47]

Saw in him something unique[00:01:49]

And she rose to defend him[00:01:55]

When gossips attempted to speak[00:01:57]

All the while with the pile growing steeper[00:02:01]

Even she came to call him insane[00:02:05]

He just kept digging deeper and deeper[00:02:09]

So deep you could smell the chow mien[00:02:14]

His family his friends nobody made sense anymore[00:02:18]

Ye with no faith go away go away from my door[00:02:27]

Cried the man cried the man in the hole[00:02:32]

Cried the man cried the man in the hole[00:02:41]

And he dug and he dug and he dug[00:03:02]

Till one morning he struck something hard[00:03:05]

Yes and lifting the trough from the mud[00:03:10]

He fell to his knees oh my God[00:03:15]

But only the sparrows would hear[00:03:19]

The great cheer he let go[00:03:21]

As his call for a witness was answered[00:03:27]

By his echo[00:03:30]

As it ricocheted down the trail[00:03:33]

Of the man in the hole[00:03:36]

And so finally the ultimate twist[00:03:58]

As the walls had grown too steep to climb[00:04:02]

There would be no way out of the ditch[00:04:06]

And the man saw his fatal design[00:04:11]

So he covered the floor[00:04:15]

With sapphires rubies and pearls[00:04:18]

Built a throne out of gold[00:04:24]

Where alone he grew old in his world[00:04:26]

Goes the tale of the man in the hole[00:04:32]
