Buried Treasure

Barry Gibb - Maurice Gibb - Robin Gibb

As I'm walkin' behind this plow I keep turnin' over mem'ries
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 prayin' for is fallin' from my eyes

Waitin' for the settin' 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 mem'ries of a love that lived and died
You couldn't be the simple wife you had to lead the cheatin' life
And you led me down the 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 that can't find

And there's buried treasure hidden in the ground...

As I'm walkin' behind this plow I keep turnin' over mem'ries
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 prayin' for is fallin' from my eyes
