[00:00:06] Listen if you will, I have a tale to tell.

[00:00:12] Of an unfortunate man, the name of Solomon Snell,

[00:00:18] And the philosophy he should have embraced,

[00:00:24] That says no matter what you do,

[00:00:27] You'll never be safe.

[00:00:33] Ring the bell, ring the bell

[00:00:37] For Solomon Snell.

[00:00:41] Too much trust,

[00:00:43] Is the road to Hell

[00:00:50] Rightfully nervous, he took every precaution,

[00:00:56] He paid three armed men to drive him to Boston.

[00:01:03] But wouldn't you know it, he was broke on arrival.

[00:01:09] His own men robbed him and took off in style.

[00:01:18] So he wanted to marry a girl who was true,

[00:01:24] And on the basis of her name he would fidelity prove.

[00:01:31] She had a handsome cousin she would visit in Charlotte.

[00:01:37] Well she said he was her cousin,

[00:01:40] The brazen harlot.

[00:01:46] Ring the bell, ring the bell

[00:01:50] For Solomon Snell.

[00:01:53] He played it safe,

[00:01:56] And it didn't end well.

[00:02:00] Ring the bell, ring the bell

[00:02:03] For Solomon Snell.

[00:02:06] Too much trust

[00:02:09] Is the road to Hell.

[00:02:15] He caught yellow fever, down Charleston way.

[00:02:22] Before you knew it, they were digging his grave.

[00:02:28] But he was most terrified of being buried alive.

[00:02:34] And so to his finger a bell was tied.

[00:02:43] You see Snell had arranged for a man to be paid,

[00:02:50] To listen for the bell when he was buried in his grave.

[00:02:56] But the man got drunk, and when the bell did sound,

[00:03:02] Solomon lived but he stayed in the ground.

[00:03:12] No one heard a sound.

[00:03:18] Ring the bell, ring the bell

[00:03:22] For Solomon Snell.

[00:03:25] Too much trust is the road to hell.

[00:03:31] Ring the bell, ring the bell

[00:03:34] For Solomon Snell.

[00:03:38] You can play it safe,

[00:03:40] But it wont end well.

[00:03:46] You can play it safe,

[00:03:52] But it wont end well.

[00:03:59] You can play it safe,

[00:04:05] But it wont end well.
