I live in a silver mine and I call it big, it's true.
Original Lyrics:
I live in a silver mine and I call it beggar's tomb.
Grateful Dead's, "Uncle John's Band"
Misheard Lyrics:
I live in a silver mine
And I call it pagan's tomb
I got me a violin
And I make it call the tune
And I call it pagan's tomb
I got me a violin
And I make it call the tune
Original Lyrics:
I live in a silver mine
And I call it beggar's tomb.
I got me a violin
And I beg you call the tune
And I call it beggar's tomb.
I got me a violin
And I beg you call the tune
I kinda have to wonder if he call's it pagan's tomb because if ya ain't Christian they gonna bury ya where he's at and as I sit here on Riverside Dr. in Roswell, GA in the lovely and sometimes peaceful park just down from the Azalea Dr segement of roadway adopted by a group of people of all different faiths advocating peace it seems a far cry from how it should be here. It is peaceful when there are no other people around. I hardly think it much different from elsewhere in Georgia
