Dig a slow hole to China 
Blacker than a miner 
No turn un-stoned I trample 
Hold my candle's handle 

Mama always said 
"You better come home" 
Stuck in the mud 
Dug a slow hole 

My blue cow 
Gotta get her back here somehow 
My brown bag 
Never gonna guess what I have 

Mama always said 
"You better come home" 
Stuck in the mud 
Dug a slow hole 

If it's too shallow then dig it more deep 
If it's too narrow then dig it more wide 
If you see a point of light 
Shake hands with the other side 
If it's too shallow then dig it more deep 
If it's too narrow then dig it more wide 
If you see the point of light 
Shake hands with the other side 

A lighthouse in Kentucky 
Oh I should be so lucky 
Sell fill dirt to the groundlings 
And water to the drowning 

Mama always said 
"You better come home" 
Stuck in the mud 
Dug a slow hole
