Graveyard Train One Foot in the Grave song lyrics

I put one foot forward while the other one stomps on the grave

And my hands clap a rhythm but the lord ain't listening today

I came back from the river because the river ain't no place to pray

And I look at myself in the mirror and say

Like the suicide snake I bite my tail

I dive down deep into the belly of the whale

Wash myself in a big black tub

Rub a dub dub rub a dub dub

I hear one hand clapping while the other one gives me a wave

And the lord keeps whistling but I ain't listening today

I'm gonna drown in the river, gonna float all my troubles away

And I look at myself in the mirror and say

Boy you're gonna grow to be a man someday

Like the suicide snake I bite my tail

Dive down deep in the belly of the whale
