lyrics

Riders with reins on wood
And I was one to haul them down
Oh and it’s all good
The lights go out when we go down
And everything turns to dark
But at the top of the mine’s a spark
And she’s beautiful
But I’ll never be lost in love
I’ll have to ride the bucket down

Oh I’m country ugly
But she gonna gimme a little spit shine
She said she’d never fuck a miner
But haul me up and beat me down
Now I’m in a cage with a hundred men
Oh she’ll just throw a little somethin in
And I’m all in
But I’ll never be lost in love
I’ll have to ride the bucket down

Oh way oh
Na na na
Carol can I get lost in your thighs?

Oh I’m country ugly
But she still gonna gimme a good time
Now she does her own bachata
But I got moves and they’re all mine
Crackin the whip while I’m shufflin feet
I coulda been any old man in the street
I’m just the lucky one I guess?
And I’ll never be lost in love
I’ll have to ride the bucket down

Oh way oh
Na na na
Carol can I get lost in your thighs?

Torture me, am I livin a lie?
Mother me, mother may I?
Bury me, am I buried alive?
Carol can I get lost in your thighs?

Mark Bragg St. John'S, Newfoundland and Labrador

With the whimsy of Tom Waits, the brat of Geoff Berner and the plaintiveness of Neil Young, Mark Bragg takes us on a three-ring musical sojourn. As children the circus could frighten, thrill and delight us. Expect no less of Bragg.
