Mt. Misery Breakdown (3:29)

Mount Misery Breakdown

Misery loves company and man I oughta know
Cuz where I come from misery's a place where people go
South along the highway upon a little rise
They call the place Mt. Misery, you'll stay away if you're wise

Mt. Misery just about a mile out of town
Mt. Misery's a place where you get lost and you don't get found
Ain't no church, ain't no steeple, just a bunch of lost and lonely people
Mt. Misery Breakdown

Brother George he loved the Lord, was a good God-fearin' man
And if you ever needed help old George would lend a hand
Well George went up Mt. Misery to fetch a pail of water
Before he'd come back down again he'd married Satan's daughter

Mt. Misery they say it's where the devil went to ground
Now just because you ain't seen the devil don't mean he ain't still around
Better get out while you got the chance, I think I hear that old devil's dance
the Mt. Misery Breakdown

So listen to me fellas, and quit your cheatin' ways
Make it right with Jesus, and live for better days
Cuz misery's got company, believe me I should know
I'm up here on Mt. Misery, and I hear that cold wind blow

Mt. Misery ain't fit for a man nor a hound
And boy if you don't watch your step you're gonna be Mt. Misery bound
Better quit your evil and quit it soon cuz when you dance with the devil he calls the tune
