Lyrics***
Trapped in a mine what had caved in
Then everyone knows the only ones left
Were Joe and me and Tim
When they broke through to pull us free
The only ones 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 have blacked out just around 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 * Yeah
Oh Timothy
Timothy........
