Heard of a land held by a troubled hand
Where the whiskey runs the coal
Don't you dare go ask the newsman
Cause he'll tell you everything
He don't know
She was the daughter of the second American Revolution
A tall girl with a stones constitution
And when she looked into their eyes to see
She know she ain't never going back to what she believe
To what you believe
So go and riddle me over
I'm a man got nothing to show for
My work in the ground
In this here Londontown
So go and riddle me over
I'm a man got nothing to show for
My work in the ground
Got my back to the fire
But it ain't the bridges that are falling down
They said they would never fight no more
After the day she went away
What in the world are we all fighting for
If we don't give they're going to take
So go and riddle me over
I'm a man got nothing to show for
My work in the ground
In this here Londontown
So go and riddle me over
I'm a man got nothing to show for
My work in the ground
Got my back to the fire and my feet on the ground
But it ain't the bridges that are falling down
Ophelia used to swim in the rain
Nothing she'd rather do
I was beside myself when the news it came
And it had nothing to do do with you
And they
They said they would never fight no more
After the day she went away
What in the world are we all fighting for?
If we don't give they're gonna take
So go and riddle me over
I'm a man got nothing to show for
My work in the ground
In this here Londontown
So go and riddle me over
I'm a man got nothing to show for
My work in the ground
Got my back to the fire and my feet on the ground
But it ain't the bridges that are falling down
She did again
She did again
It ain't over but she know the end
She did again
Rollin' away today, oh please
Oh what's not to hold in place?
Rollin' again
Roll me again
She know it ain't over but she know the end
Riddle me over
Riddle me over
Riddle me over
Riddle me over
Riddle me
So go and riddle me over
I'm a man got nothing to show for
My work in the ground
Go ahead and go
And riddle me over
But it ain't the bridges that are falling down
*Said you can fall
Not just a lover
Had you wish you
They were runnin'
Had your son you know watches you around
Hold him, know him
Hey you say
You will leave if they fuck you around
Hold it now
Hey the song
Say you will love but you were already on
Riddle him over today
I'm a man
Baby*
