This is a song of Rick McCue's that he sent me to sing after meeting in Long Harbour in the music tent August 2019. It has not been officially released yet.
Lyrics
Gonna dig myself up outta this hole
Outta this hole one day
Gonna dig myself up outta this hole
Back into the light of day
Been too long down here in this hole
Mother can you hear me pray
I said, I've been too long down here in this hole
Now I long for the light of day
I'm gonna scratch and claw
Till my fingers bleed
Till I find me some air
That I can breathe
I'm gonna keep digging
Till I dig my way
Dig my way back into the light of day
Ain't nobody's fault but my own
Father can you hear me pray
I said it ain't nobody's fault but my own
For burning out the light of day
You see me and the devil had us quite a run
We ran hard night and day
Until one day the bottle ran dry
And the devil took the light of day
I'm gonna scratch and claw
Till my fingers bleed
Till I find me some air
That I can breathe
I'm gonna keep digging till I dig my way
Dig my way back into the light of day
Dig my way back into the light of day
