The Boxcars Jeffrey's Hell lyrics

Huntins' awful hard
if you ain't got a dog
Jeffrey's was the best
I've heard tale
One night out chasin coons
under a full moon
he lost him up the holler
by the trail

Jeffrey told his wife
Honey please don't cry
you know I know these woods like no one can
I'll find that dog tonight or go to hell trying
but she never held him in her arms again

Chorus: See that lamp burning bright
he's there another night
listen close and you can here him yell
keep your lamp turned low
there's not much more to go
as they walk another night in Jeffrey's Hell


Jeffrey and his boy
set off of the woods
where the only trail they had was one they'd made
and in the laurel and the pines
there ain't never been a sign
of them or the dog that caused their fate

Now a hundred years have past
since Jeffrey lost his dog
I've never seen him there
but I've heard tale
If you're out chasin' coons
under a full moon
You'll see that coal oil lamp and hear him well

Repeat Chorus
Repeat Chorus
