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
