A classic bluegrass lament.

lyrics

Dark Hollow (Traditional)

I’d rather be in some dark hollow
Where the sun don’t never shine
Than to be here alone, just knowing that you’re gone
As I slowly lose my mind.

Cho: So blow your whistle, freight train
Take me further down the track
I’m going away, I’m leaving today
I’m going but I ain’t coming back.

I’d rather be in some dark hollow
Where the sun don’t never shine
Than to be in some big city
In a small room with your love on my mind.

I’d rather be in some dark hollow
Where the sun don’t never shine
Than to be here alone, just knowing that you’re gone
As I slowly lose my mind.
