Climbing Song I

[PETE]
There's a tale all boys should know
Listen well to every verse
Song about a devil's curse

[PETE & FRANCES]
On a mine called the Burnt Part

[PETE]
Once the Devil took a trip
Said he hand some time to kill

[PETE & FRANCES]
Found an Appalachian hill

[FRANCES & DUSTY]
Named his spot

[PETE, FRANCES, & DUSTY]
The Burnt Part

[FRANCES] (Spoken)
What are you doing?

[DUSTY]
But I know that song, every kid in town knows it

[PETE]
Well, it's not just any song

[FRANCES]
It's different for the two of us

[DUSTY]
I can't sing it?

[PETE & FRANCES]
No

[JAKE & CHET]
He saw miners shovelin' coal
Diggin' tunnels down to hell
That's where they'll forever dwell
Trapped 'em all in the burnt part

Lift me up
Burn me slow
Burn me slow
Up the mountain
Down below
Up the mountain
Up the mountain
Down below
Down below
The Devil's plan is mighty
His work a piece of art
He has blessed every man with a Burnt Part

He breathed fire through that hill
He breathed fire through that hill
Ripped a scar right 'cross the Earth
Ripped a scar right 'cross the Earth
West Virginia boys at birth
West Virginia boys at birth
Know you don't go to the Burnt Part

Lift me up
Burn me slow
Up the mountain
Down below

[PETE & FRANCES] (Echoing)
Lift me up
Burn me slow
Up the mountain
Down below

[CHET, JAKE, & PETE]
The Devil's plan is mighty
His work a piece of art

[PETE]
He has blessed every man with a Burnt Part
