Blue Diamond Mines - Kathy Mattea[00:00:00]

I remember the ways[00:00:13]

In the bygone days[00:00:18]

When we were in our prime[00:00:21]

How us and John L[00:00:27]

Give the old man hell[00:00:30]

Down in the blue diamond mine[00:00:33]

Well the whistle blowed[00:00:39]

And the rooster crowed[00:00:42]

Two hours before daylight[00:00:45]

When a man done his best[00:00:51]

And he earned his good rest[00:00:54]

Had seventeen dollars at night[00:00:57]

In the mines in the mines[00:01:03]

In the blue diamond mines[00:01:05]

I worked my life away[00:01:09]

In the mines in the mines[00:01:15]

In the blue diamond mines[00:01:17]

Oh fall on your knees and pray[00:01:21]

You old black gold[00:01:39]

You've taken my lungs[00:01:44]

And your dust[00:01:47]

Has darkened my home[00:01:48]

And now that we're old[00:01:52]

You're turning your back[00:01:56]

Where else[00:01:59]

Can an old miner go[00:02:00]

Well it's algomer block[00:02:04]

And it's big leather woods[00:02:08]

And now it's blue diamond too[00:02:11]

Well the pits are all closed[00:02:17]

And it's get another job[00:02:21]

What else[00:02:23]

Can an old miner do[00:02:25]

In the mines in the mines[00:02:29]

In the blue diamond mines[00:02:31]

I worked my life away[00:02:36]

In the mines in the mines[00:02:41]

In the blue diamond mines[00:02:43]

Oh fall on your knees and pray[00:02:48]

John L had a dream[00:03:05]

But it's broken it seems[00:03:11]

Mining has had it's day[00:03:14]

But they're stripping off[00:03:19]

My mountain top[00:03:23]

And they pay me eight dollars a day[00:03:26]

And I get a little poke[00:03:31]

Of welfare meal[00:03:35]

A little poke of welfare flour[00:03:38]

But I tell ya right now[00:03:43]

You won't qualify[00:03:47]

'Til you work[00:03:50]

For a quarter an hour[00:03:51]

In the mines in the mines[00:03:55]

In the blue diamond mines[00:03:58]

I worked my life away[00:04:02]

In the mines in the mines[00:04:07]

In the blue diamond mines[00:04:10]

Oh fall on your knees and pray[00:04:14]
