Harry Stone - Hearts of Coal - John Tams[00:00:00]
Harry Stone was a miner born[00:00:00]
He worked to win his wages[00:00:05]
Riding down the cages[00:00:09]
And raging at the seams[00:00:13]
He worked his stall from dusk till dawn[00:00:17]
Sweet sweat and raw endeavour[00:00:21]
Black diamonds bound together[00:00:25]
By a strong and simple means[00:00:29]
He met a girl from Ironville[00:00:33]
He promised he would love her[00:00:37]
He'd put no one above her[00:00:40]
At last they went to town[00:00:44]
He promised he would love her[00:00:48]
'Til the blackbirds stopped their singing[00:00:51]
The mission bell stopped ringing[00:00:56]
And they closed the coal pit down[00:00:59]
Where are you tonight now we need you[00:01:04]
Left out in the cold cold[00:01:08]
Where are you tonight now we need you[00:01:15]
They broke the hearts of coal[00:01:19]
Hearts of coal[00:01:23]
They raised their children chapel proud[00:01:26]
The lamb and the flag to guide them[00:01:28]
They each strove to provide them[00:01:33]
With a sense of right from wrong[00:01:37]
And when the strikes and lock outs came[00:01:40]
And bare foot hunger tried them[00:01:44]
All hopes were denied them[00:01:48]
Their unity held strong[00:01:52]
Where are you tonight now we need you[00:01:56]
Left out in the cold cold[00:02:01]
Where are you tonight now we need you[00:02:07]
They broke the hearts of coal[00:02:11]
Hearts of coal[00:02:15]
Forty years of coal dust[00:02:41]
Is a lot of pain to carry[00:02:44]
It made a cripple out of Harry[00:02:48]
But his family came and took up his tools[00:02:52]
And they faced the Orgreave cavalry[00:02:56]
While the world looked on and wondered[00:02:59]
Their right to work was plundered[00:03:03]
By the statesman ship of fools[00:03:06]
Where are you tonight now we need you[00:03:11]
Left out in the cold cold[00:03:16]
Where are you tonight now we need you[00:03:22]
They broke the hearts of coal[00:03:27]
Hearts of coal[00:03:30]
The enemy within they cried[00:03:33]
And the boney finger pointed[00:03:36]
Dripping gold from the anointed[00:03:40]
At the beggar and her bowl[00:03:44]
And just like the Union said he would[00:03:47]
The axeman came in dancing[00:03:51]
His psychopathic prancing[00:03:55]
Chopped out the hearts of coal[00:03:58]
Where are you tonight now we need you[00:04:02]
Left out in the cold cold[00:04:07]
Where are you tonight now we need you[00:04:13]
They broke the hearts of coal[00:04:18]
Hearts of coal[00:04:21]
Where are you tonight now we need you[00:04:24]
Left out in the cold cold[00:04:29]
Where are you tonight now we need you[00:04:35]
They broke the hearts of coal[00:04:39]
Hearts of coal[00:04:42]
He promised he would love her[00:05:34]
'Til the blackbirds stopped their singing[00:05:38]
The mission bells stopped ringing[00:05:42]
And they closed the coal pit down[00:05:46]
