The Onion Field

I'm going down to the Onion Field To make it all right I'm going down to the Onion Field And it's not for the first time Girl, you're too good for this world And it hurts too bad, it hurts too bad My dear, there's no future for you here And my mind's made up, it can't go on this way Now it's dark, oh, now it's dark And they won't even know we're gone So keep very still No one can hurt you Down in the Onion Field I'm going down these days And I'm damned if you'll get pulled down with me There's not a single sound from the phone When your friends don't want to know you I know it's not right This isn't what I promised you But now my hands are tied Just the same as when the ship goes down And the captain stays inside. You're too good to go that way, too good for this world For slow death in a country town You're too good for this world, something had to be done And now it's dark, now it's dark So keep very still Nothing can hurt you Under the Onion Field
