Timothy Lyrics By The Buoys

    trapped in a mine what had caved in
    and 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 lookin’ at you
    timothy timothy
    god what did we do

    i must’ve 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 findin’ timothy

    timothy timothy
    where on earth did you go
    timothy timothy
    god why don’t i know

    timothy yeah
    oh timothy
    timothy
    yeah timothy
