The Knox Mine歌词完整版
Cold January, up before dawn
Down to the Knox Mine we been digging on
No other light but lamp on my head
And my Mama told me that I'll wind up dead
But there's bills to pay and the rents due today
So I'll take my chances this time
Breaking my back for five dollars a day
The company store gets half anyway
While Mr. Coal Barron sits up on a hill
In a gold plated mansion, with pockets to fill
And we're underground, three hundred feet down
And it feels like we're digging our grave
Don't go down the mine
Heed the words that I tell you
It'll cost you your life
And its damp and dark too
The river is wide, and it gets ever closer with each hammer strike
Don't go down the mines
Heard people talking 'bout the River Slope Vein
That they got us digging to close to the bank
But money and greed is a powerful thing
It can make a man blind to the danger it brings
And I've got a feeling this anthracite ceiling can't hold back the river above
We heard the warning just before noon
A thunderous sound and the river came through
We tried to run but the mine's like a maze
And the col icy waters chased us to our graves
Mama was right that I'd give my life
Wish I'd listened to her when she said
Don't go down the mines
Heed the words that I tell you
It'll cost you your life
And its damp and dark too
The river is wide and it gets ever closer with each hammer strike
Don't go down the mines
I guess Mama was right
Don't go down the mines
