Testi

Way back in 1920, in a little mining town
Matewan west virginia heard the awful sounds
Gunfire echoed through the holler grandpa said
And when the smoke was cleared, they counted ten men dead
For coal
The Union busters came, along with their hired guns
But Appalachian justice has a way of getting' done
Fightin' words were said, weapons pulled, and widows cried
They fought for pride or pay, but each of them still died
For coal
There's a long black tunnel, leads to my daily bread
With the dust and slatefalls, it's a wonder I ain't dead
My lungs fade to black, but i got a job to do
Just pay me well to work this hell, it's my life to lose
For coal
Music Break
Ain't a lot that's changed these last hundred years
When coal gets in your blood, it mingles with your tears
Still barely hangin' on, prayin' we'll get by
Our children's children know, one day they'll live and die
For coal
There's a long black tunnel, leads to my daily bread
With the dust and slatefalls, it's a wonder I ain't dead
My lungs fade to black, but i got a job to do
Just pay me well to work this hell, it's my life to lose
For coal
For coal
