Ain't gonna go Ain't gonna go Ain't gonna go in the cold cold ground We still got whiskey We still got gumbo Ain't gonna go in the cold cold ground Let's start the party, down on ravine saddest bunch of boys I ever seen Get your buttons up all tight Let them come we'll rue the night one more time for everyone we see There's hippie Jenny, golden hair Dancing like she really doesn’t care I swear that girl just can’t bring rain, Carry shame or find the blame None of us will ever be the same Ain't gonna go Ain't gonna go Ain't gonna go in the cold cold ground We still got whiskey We still got gumbo Ain't gonna go in the cold cold ground Let me hear that fiddle, from Mr. Michael Holdin down the demons we brought round He brought his sunshine he brought his moonshine Let's celebrate while we’re above the ground Then brother Daniel, always at home tales that wind you up around his thumbs He'll roll a number and roll a yarn Then sit right down and play his old guitar Ain't gonna go Ain't gonna go Ain't gonna go in the cold cold ground We still got whiskey We still got gumbo Ain't gonna go in the cold cold ground Then when drums come in from the famous Mr. bones, stepping down the alley by our home it's time we go, we've always known I don't think I wanna let this go Ain’t gonna go Ain’t gonna go Ain’t gonna go in the cold cold ground Don't stop the party Don’t slow down Ain't gonna be no parties down below We gotta go We gotta go We gotta go in the cold cold ground I ain’t got no whiskey, I ain’t got no gumbo We gotta go in the cold cold ground

about

“Cold Cold Ground '' is a story born of old black and white Twilight Zone episodes, where fiction toys with the ordinary and the mundane. In this episode, our wayward character finds himself at a backyard party in New Orleans sharing drinks and gumbo with friends who had died in years past. Slowly realizing they are accompanying the Grim Reaper, and are there to help ease his passing, he pleads for a reprieve for as long as there’s whiskey and gumbo to go around. But everyone knows the cold, cold ground always wins in the end…
