Jeffrey’s Hell Lyrics by The Boxcars

All In

2012

Huntin's awful hard
If you ain't got a dog
Jeffrey's was the best that I've heard tell
One night out chasin coons
Under a full moon
He lost him up the holler by the trail
Jeffrey told his wife
Honey please don't cry
You know I know these woods like no one can
I'll find that dog tonight
Or go to hell trying
But she never held him in her arms again
[Chorus]
See that lamp burning bright
He's there another night
Listen close and you can hear him yell
Keep your lamp trimmed low
There's not much more to go
As they walk another night in Jeffreys hell
Jeffrey and his boys
Set off from the woods
Where the only trail they had was one they paved
In the laurel and the pines
There ain't never been a sight
Of them or the dog that caused their fate
Now a hundred years have passed
Since Jeffrey lost his dog
And I've never seen him there but I've heard tell
If you're out chasin coons
Under a full moon
You'll see that coal oil lamp and hear him wail
[Chorus]
See that lamp burning bright
He's there another night
Listen close and you can hear him yell
Keep your lamp trimmed low
There's not much more to go
As they walk another night in Jeffreys hell
[Chorus]
See that lamp burning bright
He's there another night
Listen close and you can hear him yell
Keep your lamp trimmed low
There's not much more to go
As they walk another night in Jeffreys hell
As they walk another night in Jeffreys hell
