[00:12.49]Of an unfortunate man, the name of Solomon Snell, [00:18.90]And the philosophy he should have embraced, [00:24.91]That says no matter what you do, [00:27.97]You'll never be safe.

[01:03.05]But wouldn't you know it, he was broke on arrival. [01:09.06]His own men robbed him and took off in style. [01:15.36] [01:18.51]So he wanted to marry a girl who was true, [01:24.96]And on the basis of her name he would fidelity prove. [01:31.28]She had a handsome cousin she would visit in Charlotte. [01:37.64]Well she said he was her cousin, [01:40.71]The brazen harlot. [01:43.71] [01:46.54]Ring the bell, ring the bell [01:50.66]For Solomon Snell.

[02:34.42]And so to his finger a bell was tied. [02:40.58] [02:43.03]You see Snell had arranged for a man to be paid, [02:50.56]To listen for the bell when he was buried in his grave. [02:56.55]But the man got drunk, and when the bell did sound, [03:02.79]Solomon lived but he stayed in the ground. [03:08.93] [03:12.36]No one heard a sound. [03:18.99]Ring the bell, ring the bell [03:22.43]For Solomon Snell. [03:25.37]Too much trust is the road to hell. [03:30.30] [03:31.48]Ring the bell, ring the bell [03:34.68]For Solomon Snell.
