Petrified Man Lyrics & Chords By Beat Circus

Jacob oh Jacob, you travelled this world 'round
In good days and bad days you saw
But you never quite knew
What the Devil could do
To travel to Black Valley Falls
Your wife and your children, they looked up to you
'Till one day your daemons came by
Surrounded and left you with nothing to claim
But the title of Petrified Man
And now they say:
Petrified Man, Petrified Man
Won't live to hang
Can't stand for anything
Petrified Man, Petrified Man
Won't take a stand
Go look at your family now
Petrified Man
You'll never amount to nothing (?)
The sun rose and set with your only true love
But shadows devoured the land
The darkness has fallen, the sky's turned to grey
And they called you a Petrified Man
You sold all your days in the dirty coal mine
And now walk three miles to your door
What little did you think that your sweet Adalaid (?)
Which you never ever see no more
And now they say:
Petrified Man, Petrified Man
Won't live to hang
Can't stand for anything
Petrified Man, Petrified Man
Won't take a stand
Go look at your family now
Petrified Man
You'll never amount to nothing (?)
Glory be
Take my hand and walk with me
Into the fire, Glory be
Take my hand and walk with me
Into the fire, Glory be
Take my hand and walk with me
Into the fire, Glory be
Take my hand and walk with me
Into the fire, Glory be
Take my hand and walk with me
Into the fire, Glory be
Take my hand and walk with me
Into the fire, Glory be
Take my hand and walk with me
Into the fire, Glory be
Take my hand and walk.
And now they say:
Petrified Man, Petrified Man
Won't live to hang
Can't stand for anything
Petrified Man, Petrified Man
Won't take a stand
Go look at your family now
Petrified Man
You'll never amount to nothing (?)
And now from the grove where the trees live in flow
And the laurels get sorry and unravel the tongue
No man left standing. You liberate them
For calling you Petrified Man
