nick spear - tap 'er light lyrics

Loading...

tap ‘er light, my boy, i’ll kiss you at nightfall
go and win our supper in the mountain
may your hammer sing when you ring it into rock that shines
go and win our supper in the mines

tap ‘er light, sweet lover, i’ll be sixteen come sunday
and you will win my maiden hand in autumn
when the winter snow falls down our hearts will be bound
go and win our future underground
swing that hammer down

dig ‘er deep, young man, ground rent’s due wednesday
hold your head up high, you’ll build a nation
give your hammer wings for to fill the cold coffers of the copper kings
go and swing that hammer, swing
swing that hammer, swing

when the fire broke out in the granite mountain mine
there was scarce a sound nor any warning
while above the ground, linen dried on sagging clotheslines
just like any other morning

when the whistle screamed throughout the town, the crowd gathered ’round
to hear the news and fight the flame
but when the cable come up red from the h+ll below the smoking headframe
she bellowed out your name
in the catacombs below, short of breath and headlamps low
who among you drew the tower?
but in the happy month of june, the summer sun has set too soon
who among you drew the moon?

tap ‘er light, old soul, i’ll see you at skyfall
go and kiss our mother on the mountain
you’ve done your best and now you’ll lay your weary head to rest
in the sparkling tunnels under town
you can lay your hammer down
lay your hammer down
