Black Waters (黑色水域) - Jean Ritchie[00:00:00]

I come from the mountains kentucky's my home[00:00:05]

Where the wild deer and black bear so lately did roam[00:00:10]

By the cool rushing waterfall the wildflowers dream[00:00:16]

And through every green valley there runs a clear stream[00:00:22]

Now there's scenes of destruction on every hand[00:00:28]

And only black waters run down through my land[00:00:33]

Sad scenes of destruction on every hand[00:00:39]

Black waters black waters run down through my land[00:00:45]

Well the quail she's a pretty bird and she sings a sweet tongue[00:00:58]

In the roots of tall timber she nests with her young[00:01:03]

The the hillside explodes with the dynamites roar[00:01:08]

And the voice of the small bird is heard there no more[00:01:14]

And the mountain comes a sliding so awful and grand[00:01:20]

And the flooding black waters rise over my land[00:01:26]

Sad scenes of destruction on every hand[00:01:31]

Black waters black waters run down through my land[00:01:37]

In the coming of springtime we planted our corn[00:01:49]

In the ending of springtime we buried our son[00:01:55]

In the summer come a nice man saying everything's fine[00:02:00]

My employer just requires a way to his mine[00:02:06]

Then they tore down my mountain and covered my corn[00:02:12]

Now the grave on the hillside 's a mile deeper down[00:02:18]

And the man stands a talking with his hat in his hand[00:02:23]

While the poison black waters rise over my land[00:02:28]

Sad scenes of destruction on every hand[00:02:35]

Black waters black waters run down through my land[00:02:42]

Well i ain't got no money not much of a home[00:02:54]

I own my own land but my land's not my own[00:02:59]

But if i had ten million somewheres thereabout[00:03:04]

Well i'd buy perry county and throw them all out[00:03:10]

And just sit down on the banks with my bait and my can[00:03:16]

And watch the clear waters run down through my land[00:03:21]

Well wouldn't that be just like the old promised land[00:03:27]

Black waters black waters no more in my land[00:03:33]
