Folly’s Dance

It was Folly’s dance that did him in
The lump of coal beneath his skin
Was lit with passion’s yellow flame and blue

The dance was danced in holey shoes
Torn hoes to a much abused
Violin with an open crack
And a cut away with a broken back

Folly danced in the coal light and the kerosene air
Folly danced like she was the only one there
And before he could even ask her, her name
He fell in love with Folly’s flame

There’s nothing soft in a miner’s life
But nothing grows without some light
1000 feet beneath the crust
Breathing black and choking dust

But Folly danced on the off nights
In her scarlet and greens
Folly danced like she was
Somebody’s queen
And before he could even ask her, her name
He fell in love with Folly’s flame.

Folly danced in the coal light and the kerosene air
Folly danced like she was the only one there
And before he could even ask her, her name
He fell in love with Folly’s flame

The dance was danced in holey shoes
Torn hoes to a much abused
Violin with an open crack
And a cut away with a broken back

Folly danced in the coal light and the kerosene air
Folly danced like she was the only one there
And before he could even ask her, her name
He fell in love with Folly’s flame
