Blue Diamond Mines - Jean Ritchie[00:00:00]

Written by：Dick Weissman[00:00:01]

I remember the ways in the bygone days[00:00:08]

When we was all in our prime[00:00:15]

How us and Johnny[00:00:21]

We gave the old man hell[00:00:25]

Down in the blue diamond mines[00:00:28]

When the whistle would blow 'fore the rooster crowed[00:00:33]

Full two hours before daylight[00:00:40]

When a man done his best[00:00:46]

And he earned his good rest[00:00:50]

And had seventeen dollars at night[00:00:52]

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

I have worked my life away[00:01:05]

In the mines in the mines in the blue diamond mines[00:01:11]

Oh fall on your knees and pray[00:01:18]

You old black gold you've taken my soul[00:01:27]

Your dust has darkened my home[00:01:33]

And now I'm old[00:01:39]

And you turn your back[00:01:43]

Where else can an old miner go[00:01:46]

Well it's big leatherwood[00:01:54]

Are gone in black[00:01:59]

Now it's old blue diamond too[00:02:01]

Well the pits[00:02:06]

They are closed get another job[00:02:08]

What work[00:02:14]

Can an old miner do[00:02:15]

In the mines in the mines[00:02:20]

In the blue diamond mines[00:02:23]

I have worked my life away[00:02:26]

In the mines in the mines[00:02:32]

In the blue diamond mines[00:02:35]

Oh fall on your knees and pray[00:02:39]

Johnny had a dream[00:02:48]

But it's broken it seems[00:02:52]

Now our union is letting us down[00:02:55]

Last week they took away my hospital card[00:03:00]

Said why don't you leave this old town[00:03:07]

Oh let's go downtown boys and hang around[00:03:13]

Well maybe it ain't so bad[00:03:20]

Go on back home and they meet you at the door[00:03:25]

And it's what did you bring me dad[00:03:33]

In the mines in the mines[00:03:38]

In the blue diamond mines[00:03:41]

I have worked my life away[00:03:44]

In the mines in the mines[00:03:51]

In the blue diamond mines[00:03:53]

Oh fall on your knees and pray[00:03:58]
