Lyrics for Fallin' Ditch

{Now, we won't have to worry 'bout the Rocket Martin [Incomprehensible] Rocket Martin takes off again into the wind What do you run on, Rocket Martin? (Say beans) I run on beams, I run on laser beams} When I get lonesome the wind begin to moan When I trip, fallin' ditch Somebody wanna' throw the dirt right down When I feel like dyin' the sun come out Stole my fear 'n gone Who's afraid of the spirit with the blues-fer-bones? Who's afraid of the fallin' ditch? Fallin' ditch ain't gonna get my bones How's that for the spirit? How's that for the things? Ain't my fault the thing's gone wrong 'N when I'm smilin' my face wrinkles up real warm 'N when I'm frownin' things just turn to stone Fallin' ditch ain't gonna get my bones 'N when I get lonesome the wind begin to moan Fallin' ditch ain't gonna get my bones
