| Song Lyrics: |
Trapped in a mine what had caved in
And everyone knows the only one's left
Was Joe and me and Tim
When they broke through to pull us free
The only one's left to tell the tale
Was Joe and me
Timothy, Timothy,
Where on earth did you go?
Timothy, Timothy
God why don't I know?
Hungry as hell, no food to eat
And Joe said that he would sell his soul
For just a piece of meat
Water enough to drink for two
And Joe said to me, I'll take a swig
And then there's some for you
Timothy, Timothy, Joe was looking at you
Timothy, Timothy, God what did we do?
I must of blacked out just 'bout then
'Cause the very next thing that I could see
Was the light of the day again
My stomach was full as it could be
And nobody ever got around to finding Timothy
Timothy, Timothy, where on earth did you go?
Timothy, Timothy, God, why don't I know?
Timothyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Oh
Oh, Timothy
Timothy (fade)

fiogf49gjkf0d The actual lyrics go like this:
Trapped in a mine what had caved in
And everyone knows the only one's left
Was Joe and me and Tim
When they broke through to pull us free
The only one's left to tell the tale
Was Joe and me
Timothy, Timothy,
Where on earth did you go?
Timothy, Timothy
God why don't I know?
Hungry as hell, no food to eat
And Joe said that he would sell his soul
For just a piece of meat
Water enough to drink for two
And Joe said to me, I'll take a swig
And then there's some for you
Timothy, Timothy, Joe was looking at you
Timothy, Timothy, God what did we do?
I must of blacked out just 'bout then
Cause the very next thing that I could see
Was the light of the day again
My stomach was full as it could be
And nobody ever got around to finding Timothy
Timothy, Timothy, where on earth did you go?
Timothy, Timothy, God why don't I know?
Timothyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Oh
Oh Timothy
