Come all you young people and listen while I tell

voicecollected by sung by Mrs. Montie Martin Brenda Jo Upton Jasper, Arkansas April 25, 1962 Reel 401 Item 9 Floyd Collins Come all you young people and listen while I tell The fate of Floyd Collins, a lad you all knew well. His was tall and handsome and his heart was true and brave. His body now lies sleeping in that lonely sandstone cave. The workers there were busy, they worked both night and day To move that might banner that stood within the say. But oh how sad the ending, his life could not be saved. His body now liew sleeping in the lonely sandstone cave. Come all you young people where ever you may be And get right with your makerbefore it is too late. It may not be a sandcave in which we find our tomb, But at the day of judgement we too must meet our doom.Funding for digitization provided by the Arkansas Humanities Council and the Happy Hollow Foundation
