No Survivors – Cat Murphy Band
Verse 1
Daddy Worked On The Farm, His Fingers To The Bone.
Mama Did All She Could But He Just Couldn’t Make It Here At Home,
So Daddy Left
Working Up In Massy, They Said He’d Get A Job, Minin’ Day Or Night
You Do Whatever You Want... Until He Got Sick – He Didn’t Have Long
Verse 2
So Mother Got Into A Train She Was Headed For The North,
Going For Her Baby, To Hold Him Once More.
But The Track Was Rough The Snow Was Deep,
River Was Stronger Than The Industry
Chorus
Well The Night It Happened Won’t Be Forgotten,
The Fall Was Long And The Slope Was Steep
No Hospital Was Callin’ - No Survivors
Verse 3
So I Climbed Up On My Horse, I Was Headed For The Sunset
All The Money I Had It Was Jinglin’ In My Pocket
Down To The Graveyard I Went,
But You Wouldn’t Believe What Happened When I Got Here
That Graveyard Digger With The Shovel By The Handle...
Two Six Foot Holes With One Gravestone In The Middle
Little Did She Know Before That Train Had Left
Daddy While He Lied There Alone In His Bed,
He Was Thinking About Momma The Minute That He Passed.
Chorus
Well The Night It Happened Won’t Be Forgotten,
The Air Was Cold The Sky Was Dark
No Hospital Was Callin’ - No Survivors
Verse 4
How Could I Live With This Attack Upon My Heart?
One Day They’re Here And The Next They’re Both Gone
Well Momma She Was Beautiful And Daddy He Was Strong
That Makes Me The Only Family Livin’ On
Without Them, I Just Don’t Think I Can Go On
So What If I Just Asked That Gravedigger, Dig Three?
Chorus
Well The Night It Happened Won’t Be Forgotten,
He Turned Me Round And Buried Me Down
No Hospital Was Callin’ - No Survivors
