Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Old man staggered into town Dust in his beard, map in his hand Said, "I seen a river run pure yellow Deep in that dead red land" He drank his pay in a corner booth Eyes like coals under soot "There's a hole in the earth spittin' out God's teeth But it'll take more than it puts" [Chorus] They all go lookin' for the Lost Dutchman They all leave pieces in the stone You might find a fortune full of gold there But you'll never bring it home You can trade your blood for glitter Sign your name in rock and bone They all go lookin' for the Lost Dutchman That mine just wants your soul [Verse 2] Jake left town with a Bible and a shovel Swore he'd break his daddy's drought Pinned a faded photograph inside his jacket Never did come back out We found his mule and a busted lantern Tracks just circle and fade Like someone walked him in a crooked circle Till he knelt down and prayed [Chorus] They all go lookin' for the Lost Dutchman They all leave pieces in the stone You might find a fortune full of gold there But you'll never bring it home You can trade your blood for glitter Sign your name in rock and bone They all go lookin' for the Lost Dutchman That mine just wants your soul [Bridge] Some say it's buried in the Superstitions Some say the mountain moves at night Some hear picks on the far horizon When the moon burns just too bright [Chorus] They all go lookin' for the Lost Dutchman They all leave pieces in the stone You might find a fortune full of gold there But you'll never bring it home You can trade your blood for glitter Sign your name in rock and bone They all go lookin' for the Lost Dutchman (oh, the Lost Dutchman) That mine just wants your soul

country, Grimy dark country with baritone male vocals, twangy telecaster through a springy amp, and brushed snare riding a slow, stalking groove. Low fiddle drones under the verses; chorus swells with gang vocals and stomps like a haunted campfire chant. Slide guitar wails in the gaps, and the bridge drops to voice and sparse guitar before a final, ominous full-band hit.
