Ballad of Floyd Collins Lyrics

2025 Broadway
Floyd Collins the Musical - Ballad of Floyd Collins Lyrics

Music & Lyrics by Adam Guettel.

JEWELL:
Deep in the land of the hollows an' creeks
If'n you git lost you git lost fer weeks
Listen to the tale of a man who got lost
A hundred feet under the winter frost

JEWELL & NELLIE:
Now Floyd was a reasonin' man;
He knew what he wanted an' he had a plan
He was jes' as smart as he was brave;
He was gonna find him the perfect cave

NELLIE, MISS JANE & HOMER:
Even Floyd knew somethin' wasn't right
He was suff'rin' nightmares at night

COMPANY:
But he didn't worry 'bout what he dreamed;
Things was goin' good or so it seemed
Went lookin' fer his fortune under the ground...

MILLER:
Sure enough, his fortune is what he found
