Get the baby and the bath water pack it up

Get the truck in the backyard and back it up

It's burnin' down



Tie it off with a little piece of clothes line

Pile it up now if something falls we'll never mind

It's burnin' down



Run along the river, get your brother and your sister

Hurry up now and don't stop for nothing, mister

Burnin' down



Dear mother, it's moving below the ridge

Dear father, it's coming across the bridge

It's burnin' down



Dust to dust and ashes to ashes

Hear the road, feel the heat that's what fast is

It's burnin' down



Tires scream, children quiet and wild eyed

Can't get far enough away from the mountain side

It's burnin' down



Dear mother, it's moving below the ridge

Dear father, it's coming across the bridge

It's burnin' down, burnin' down
