lyrics

[v1]
Well, gather round and listen,
a story I will tell
'Bout a man who used a coin
to guide him on his way
He had two sweethearts,
one was poor and kind,
the other one was rich
with an evil scheming mind

[ch]
He was tossing a coin
He was tossing a coin
He was tossing a coin
for good luck,
1/ he was not afraid
2/ luck was treating him well
3/ but good luck never stay

[v2]
He lived in the mountains
right under the sky
in a cabin with children
and his married wife
But life wasn't easy,
he worked like a slave
Is it time to leave
or is it time to stay?

[v3]
Now, as he grew older
the children moved out
Some went to the east
and some went to the south
But before they left
the family was joined
to choose the way
by the tossing of a coin

[v4]
Well, one day he stumbled
and fell down in a cave
It was cold and dark
and smelled like a grave
It was dung on the floor
and bats in the roof,
enough to give
the poor man the blues

[v5]
There were two ways out
of this dungeon-like hole
From one he heard a howling,
from the other a roar
He said to himself;
Now, what shall I do?
Show me the way,
the way I should choose
