Buried Treasures Songtext
von Kenny Rogers

As I′m walking behind this plow, I keep turning over memories
Buried treasure of a past once filled with you
This old ground I know it's mine and I′ve worked it so many times
And the rain it's been praying for is falling from my eyes

Waiting for the setting sun when a hard day's work is done
We′d sit down and rock the baby and plan our dreams
But you turned it all around with this other man you found
And you never thought I′d figure out your scheme

And there's buried treasure hidden in the ground
Precious memories of a love that lived and died
You couldn′t be the simple wife
You had to lead the cheating life
And you laid me down a road I hate to ride


Now the neighbors they all knew
They had seen him leave with you
But what they didn't see was I followed close behind
And the next day′s paper read
That a man had been found dead
And the lady he'd been seen with they can′t find

And there's buried treasure hidden in the ground
Precious memories of a love that lived and died
You couldn't be the simple wife
You had to lead the cheating life
And you laid me down a road I hate to ride

As I′m walking behind this plow, I keep turning over memories
Buried treasure of a past once filled with you
This old ground knows me and I′ve worked it so many times
And the rain is a-raining down on me
