Down In The Valley Lyrics

Buxton Down In The Valley

[Verse 1]
Down in the valley
Where the women are so kind
They all speak so purty
It just 'bout blows my mind

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Refrain]
You turn the lights off
And you go lie down
Upon your bed

[Verse 3]
Children, they are playing
Silhouetted by the sun
Till Mother calls for dinner
And back to home they run

[Verse 4]
The old men on their porches
Puffin' on their pipes
The moment they are sleeping
The next thing beggin for their life

[Chorus]

Turn the lights off
Go lie down

[Refrain]
