Dogs At Midnight - Tom Paxton[00:00:00]
You might hear dogs at midnight[00:00:09]
High up a treeless hill[00:00:12]
Workin' their own graveyard shift[00:00:16]
And howlin' out their fill[00:00:19]
While down below in Coal Town[00:00:22]
A woman lies awake[00:00:26]
And hears her sleeping husband fight[00:00:29]
For every breath he takes[00:00:33]
Oh the rockslide may not get you[00:00:35]
The fire might pass you by[00:00:39]
When the gas goes up[00:00:42]
It might not be your time to die[00:00:44]
But every year gets harder[00:00:49]
To draw a simple breath[00:00:53]
When the black lung gets you[00:00:56]
That's the kiss of death[00:00:58]
You might see old men waiting[00:01:16]
On the county courthouse green[00:01:19]
Tellin' tales at noontime[00:01:23]
Of the bitter sights they've seen[00:01:26]
It makes a postcard picture there[00:01:29]
Beside the courthouse door[00:01:33]
Unless you know just why they're waitin'[00:01:36]
And what they're waitin' for[00:01:40]
Oh the rockslide may not get you[00:01:43]
The fire might pass you by[00:01:46]
When the gas goes up[00:01:49]
It might not be your time to die[00:01:52]
But every year gets harder[00:01:56]
To draw a simple breath[00:02:00]
When the black lung gets you[00:02:03]
That's the kiss of death[00:02:05]
Oh the rockslide may not get you[00:02:09]
The fire might pass you by[00:02:13]
When the gas goes up[00:02:16]
It might not be your time to die[00:02:18]
But every year gets harder[00:02:23]
To draw a simple breath[00:02:27]
When the black lung gets you[00:02:29]
That's the kiss of death[00:02:32]
When the black lung gets you[00:02:36]
That's the kiss of death[00:02:39]
