the wild shoats - lazarus lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
west virginia emptied out her mountains
to the companies who came down from the north
put to work the settlers and the immigrants
left ’em with a canary in the dark

[verse 2]
monongah made his mark on the miners
left their women standing ’round a hole
while hundreds found their graves in the coal seams
kettle bottom for a stone

[chorus]
rise on up, lazarus
rise on up, lazarus
rise on up, lazarus
shake off that dust

[verse 3]
the hammer’s not what ended ol’ john henry
he left his soul in thе big bend tunnel arch
traded thе air he breathed for a chest full of t++th
it’s better than a jailhouse in the dark

[chorus]
rise on up, lazarus
rise on up, lazarus
rise on up, lazarus
shake off that dust
[verse 4]
the hawks nest boys can tell you ’bout the trouble
how a working man ain’t really ever free
now martha white’s got skeletons in her hayfield
black men’s ghosts strewn down on 19

[outro]
rise on up, lazarus
rise on up, lazarus
rise on up, lazarus
rise on up, lazarus
