Get the baby and the bath water pack it up
|
Get the truck in the backyard and back it up
|
It's burnin' down
|
|
Tie it off with a little piece of clothes line
|
Pile it up now if something falls we'll never mind
|
It's burnin' down
|
|
Run along the river, get your brother and your sister
|
Hurry up now and don't stop for nothing, mister
|
Burnin' down
|
Dear mother, it's moving below the ridge
|
Dear father, it's coming across the bridge
|
It's burnin' down
|
|
Dust to dust and ashes to ashes
|
Hear the road, feel the heat that's what fast is
|
It's burnin' down
|
|
Tires scream, children quiet and wild eyed
|
Can't get far enough away from the mountain side
|
It's burnin' down
|
|
Dear mother, it's moving below the ridge
|
Dear father, it's coming across the bridge
|
It's burnin' down, burnin' down
|
