louise mosrie - battle of blair mountain lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
find a vein and drain the black gold
hoping to god, that the timbers hold
like my father before me, it’s all i know
we live only to harvest the coal
to harvest the coal

[verse 2]
mine owners mercy is ’bout as shallow as a grave
living in shantytowns, we ain’t got no say
14 hour shifts and such a meager wage
and mother jones can’t help us now anyway
anyway

[chorus]
we’ll take the roads. we’ll take the train by force
o deliver us lord from the gathering storm
lay down your bibles, take up your guns
blair mountain, here we comе
here we comе

[verse 3]
red bandanas tell us what side you’re on
we’re the rednecks of the union + 1921
we leave tonight 13,000 strong
we’ll take the fight to blair mountain before the dawn
before the dawn
[chorus]
we’ll take the roads. we’ll take the train by force
o deliver us lord from the gathering storm
lay down your bibles, take up your guns
blair mountain, here we come
here we come

[verse 4]
i fight for my father still buried in the mine
i fight for my son – so he’ll have a better life
we’re soldiers of the great war and it don’t seem right
to treat a man like a dog just to make a dime
just to make a dime

[chorus]
we’ll take the roads. we’ll take the train by force
o deliver us lord from the gathering storm
lay down your bibles, take up your guns
blair mountain, here we come
here we come
here we come

[verse 5]
find a vein and drain the black gold
you better hope to god that the timbers hold
