West Virginia Mine Disaster歌词完整版
Did you see him going it was early this morning
He passed all your houses on his way to the coal
He was tall he was slender and his dark eyes so tender
His occupation was mining west virginia his home
It was just before twelve i was feeding the children
Ben moseley came running to bring us the news
Number eight is all flooded many men are in danger
And we don't know their number but we fear they're all doomed
So i picked up the baby and i left all the others
To comfort each other and to pray for their own
There's tommy fourteen and there's john not much younger
Their own time soon will be coming to go down the black hole
Now if i had the money to do more than just feed them
I'd give them good learning the best could be found
So when they grew up they'd be checkers and weighers
And not spend their life drilling in the dark underground
Now what can i say to his poor little children
And what can i tell his old mother at home
And what can i say to my heart that's clear broken
To my heart that's clear broken if my darling is gone
Say did you see him going it was early this morning
He passed all your houses on his way to the coal
He was tall he was slender and his dark eyes so tender
His occupation was mining west virginia his home
