Dig a Hole to China

[Verse 1]
Don't I know it now with each day passed
Each posthole dug sunk in sound and fast
Don't I know it now, wooden bolt in the door
Closed to that thief, no reason anymore

[Chorus]
Dig a hole to China, dig a hole in clay
Dig so deep and final I finally could say
Don't I know it now, don't I know it now
Don't I know it now

[Verse 2]
And though you always told me I could never guess
I had anything to lose or confess
But don't the floorboards creak with each footfall
As I pace and turn my back to the wall?

[Chorus]
Dig a hole to China, dig a hole in clay
Dig so deep and final I finally could say
Don't I know it now, don't I know it now
Don't I know it now

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Where a daffodil is lost in the snow
It is hard to dig when the ground is so frozen
And I cannot tell you how many times
This time of year has sent me crying

[Chorus]
Dig a hole to China, dig a hole in clay
Dig so deep and final I finally could say
Don't I know it now, don't I know it now
Don't I know it now
Dig a hole to China, dig a hole in clay
Dig so deep and final I finally could say
Don't I know it now, don't I know it now
Don't I know it now
