Take your lovely daughter and throw her in the well
"Come little daughter", I said to the youngest one
She was screaming as she fell, but I never heard her hit
We'll go out tonight, we'll go to the caves
Well, I'm a thinkin' and thinkin', till there's nothin' I ain't thunk
Put your coat on, we'll have some fun
Nothing for a man to do but sit around and think
It was at that time, I swear I lost my mind
I started making plans to kill my own kind
I pushed with all my might, I pushed with all my love
Breathing in the stink, till finally I stunk
You know your papa loves you, good children go to Heaven
I said, "Make a wish, make sure and not tell and
You wanna know what can really tear you apart?
She was screaming as she fell, but I never heard her hit
Her face then lit up, I was standing by the door
I gave her a push, I gave her a shove
We'll go out to mountains, the one to explore
It's guaranteed to get your own place in hell
Just take your lovely daughter and push her in the well
Nothing for a man to do but sit around and think
Kiss your mother goodnight and remember that God saves
Gather round boys to this tale that I tell
Close your eyes dear, and count to seven"
A led her to a hole, a deep black well
I started making plans to kill my own kind
We'll go out tonight, we'll go to the caverns
Don't speak to me of lovers, with a broken heart
Come little daughter, I will carry the lanterns
Nothing to eat and nothing to drink
You know your papa loves you, good children go to Heaven
I'm going out to the barn, will I never stop in pain?
Kiss your mother goodnight and remember that God saves
I through my child into a bottomless pit
Her face then lit up, I was standing by the door
You wanna know how to take a short trip to hell?
