Oh, (C major) mother don't you worry,
dear (F major) father don't' be sad (C major)
I'll tell you all my troubles
in an (D major) awful dream I (G major) had
I (C major) dreamed I was a prisoner,
my (F major) life I could not (C major) save
I cried "oh, must I perish with (G major) in this silent
(C major) cave"

Verse 3
(C major) The rescue party labored,
they worked (F major) both night and day (C major)
To move the mighty barrier
that stood (D major) within their way (G major)
To (C major) rescue Floyd Collins,
it (F major) was their battle cry (C major)
"We'll never, no we'll never,
let (G major) Floyd Collins (C major) die"
Verse 4
(C major)
But on that fateful morning,
the (F major) sun rose in the sky (C major)
The workers still were busy,
"we'll (D major) save him by and by" (G major)
But (C major) oh how sad the ending,
his (F major) life could not be saved (C major)
His body was then sleeping in the
(G major) lonely sandstone (C major) cave
Verse 5
(C major)
Young people, all take warning
from (F major) Floyd Collin's (C major) fate
And get right with your maker
be (D major) fore it is too (G major) late
It (C major) may not be a Sand Cave in
(F major) which we find our (C major) tomb
But on that day of judgment,
we too (G major) must meet our (C major) doom
