béla fleck & abigail washburn - come all you coal miners lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
come all you coal miners wherever you may be
and listen to a story that i’ll relate to the thee
my name is nothin’ extry but the truth to you i’ll tell
i am a coal miner’s wife, i’m sure i wish you well

[verse 2]
coal mining is the most dangerous work in our land today
with plenty of dirty slavin’ work and very little pay
coal miner won’t you wake up and open your eyes and see
what the dirty capitalist system is doing to you and me

[verse 3]
they’ll take your very life blood, they’ll take our children’s lives
take fathers away from children and husbands away from wives
oh miner won’t you organize wherever you may be
and make this a land of freedom for workers like you and me

[instrumental interlude]

[verse 4]
dear miner they will slave you ’til ya can’t work no more
and what’ll you get for a living but a dollar at the company store
a tumbled down shack to live in, snow and rain pours in the top
you have to pay the company rent and your payin’ it never stops

[outro]
i am a coal miner’s wife, i’m sure i wish you well
let’s sink this capitalist system in the darkest pits of h-ll
