Kentucky Coal Miner's Prayer - song lyrics

Deep in the mountain of Harlan County
Employed by the Cumberland coal company
Well the pay is short and the days are long
But our labor union laws are coming on strong

So I drink this whiskey for my throat
Wear my hard hat and weathered coat
Early every morning I stand in line
Waiting to work another Kentucky coal mine

We enter the shaft around five thirty
With two dozen hands, cold, calloused and dirty
We'll dig through a million tons of rock and clay
And we'll still be digging at the end of the day

Down on our knees we confess our sins
And pray that the roof above don't cave in
So bless our hearts and save our souls
And the air we breathe down in the devil's hole

Just last week when the the ceiling fell
The explosion trapped us in the depths of hell
The weight of the earth took poor Tucker's life
Leaving behind a hungry baby and wife

We dug out with our shovels and picks
But soon enough the black lung disease will make us all sick

So bless our hearts and save our souls
And the air we breathe down in the devil's hole

I work deep in the mountains of eastern Kentucky
I know if I leave Harlan alive, I'll be more than lucky
Wish I could go to Texas and plant some cottonseed
But moving takes money and I've got three mouths to feed

So I drink this whiskey for my throat
Wear my hard hat and weathered coat
Early every morning I stand in line
Waiting to work another Kentucky coal mine

Dwight Yoakam & Ralph Stanley When the whistle blows each morning And I walk down in that cold, dark mine I say a prayer to my dear Saviour Please let me see the sunshine one more time Chorus: When oh when will it be over When will I lay these burdens down And when I die, dear Lord, in heaven Please take my soul from 'neath that cold, dark ground Instrumental I still grieve for my poor brother And I still hear my dear old mother cry When late that night they came and told her He'd lost his life down in the Big Shoal Mine Chorus: When oh when will it be over When will I lay these burdens down And when I die, dear Lord, in heaven Please take my soul from 'neath that cold, dark ground Instrumental I have no shame, I feel no sorrow If on this earth not much I own I have the love of my sweet children An old plow mule, a shovel and a hoe Chorus: When oh when will it be over When will I lay these burdens down And when I die, dear Lord, in heaven Please take my soul from 'neath that cold, dark ground Yeah when I die, dear Lord, in heaven Please take my soul from 'neath that cold, dark ground

Well, I was born a coal miner's daughter In a cabin on a hill in Butcher Holler We were poor, but we had love That's the one thing that Daddy made sure of He shoveled coal to make a poor man's dollar. My Daddy worked all night in the Vanleer coal mine All day long in the field a-hoin' corn Mommy rocked the babies at night And read the Bible by the coal-oil light And ever'thing would start all over come break of morn'. Daddy loved and raised eight kids on a miner's pay Mommy scrubbed our clothes on a washboard ever' day Why, I've seen her fingers bleed To complain there was no need She'd smile in Mommy's understanding way. In the summertime we didn't have shoes to wear But in the wintertime we'd all get a brand new pair From a mail order catalog Money made from sellin' a hog Daddy always managed to get the money somewhere. Yeah, I'm proud to be a coal miner's daughter I remember well - the well where I drew water The work we done was hard At night we'd sleep 'cause we worked hard I never thought of ever leaving Butcher Holler. Well, a lot of things have changed since way back then And it's so good to be back home again Not much left but the floor Nothing lives here anymore Except the mem'ries of a coal miner's daughter.

Hello, hello! Where have you been? I've been to Kentucky, I've been to New Orleans. Hello, hello! What did you find? I found myself lonely, playin' your old 45. So long since I held your body last. It's hard to realize that everything went by so fast. Catch myself longing for those California nights. Twenty years and counting but I can't forget your eyes. Hello, hello! Where have you been? I've been to Kentucky, I've been to New Orleans. Hello, hello! What did you find? I found myself lonely, playin' your old 45. (hey) Oh, we're lovin', now we're oceans apart. And when I put your record on, I feel it in my heart. Walk through the city lights in downtown Montreal. But I can't run away from my heart and from my soul. Hello, hello! Where have you been? I've been to Kentucky, I've been to New Orleans. Hello, hello! What did you find? I found myself lonely, playin' your old 45. (hey) I've been to Kentucky, I've been to New Orleans. Even down to Montreal. I found myself lonely, playin' your old 45. (hey) So save me before we're long gone, In a strange world far away from home. So save me before we're long gone, In a strange world far away from home. Hello, hello! Where have you been? I've been to Kentucky, I've been to New Orleans. Hello, hello! What did you find? I found myself lonely, playin' your old 45.

Blue moon of Kentucky, keep on shining Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue Blue moon of Kentucky, keep on shining Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue Well it was on one moonlight night When the stars were shining bright Whispers on high But love said goodbye Blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue Ah, shine on

Ehi tu, sai di drammi e di nostalgie Le stesse che non mi dici mai, ma che poi amerei Ehi tu, sei la donna che poi hai sempre sognato Che nessuno ha mai davvero capito, ma lo sai che io Mi prenderò cura di te Anche quando il mondo non sogna Anche quando di colpo la timidezza ti farà stare in silenzio Anche quando poi il tempo ci cambierà, guarderemo il sole che tramonta E come un graffio sulla pelle brucia ancora, ma sarà l'ultima volta Sarà la tua Ehi tu, sai di New York e un po' di me Un po' un casino come te e, sì, lo so che lo sai Ehi tu, sei la donna che poi ho sempre sognato Che ti senti un po' sola l'ho capito, ma lo so che lo sai Mi prenderò cura di te Anche quando il mondo non sogna Anche quando di colpo la timidezza ti farà stare in silenzio Anche quando poi il tempo ci cambierà, guarderemo il sole che tramonta E come un graffio sulla pelle brucia ancora, ma sarà l'ultima volta Sarà la tua Voglia di sbagliare e di lasciarti viziare Forse è presto per lasciarti andare e farti volare Voglio amarti fino a non finire, fino a non tornare Prenderò i nostri giorni e mi prenderò cura di te Anche quando il mondo non sogna Anche quando di colpo la timidezza ti farà stare in silenzio Anche quando poi il tempo ci cambierà, guarderemo il sole che tramonta E come un graffio sulla pelle brucia ancora, ma sarà l'ultima volta Mi prenderò cura di te Na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na Oh, oh-uoh, uoh-oh-oh Mi prenderò cura di te

Woke up in Beijing With someone else's arms in me Through someone else's life That I'm not sure belongs to me It was the sound of a city Speaks to me It was the sound of a city Sang me a song For the lonely moments Through someone else's eyes Strangers, they don't look like mine Through someone else's words Just to take a break from mine It was the sound of a city Speaks to me It was the sound of a city Sang me a song For the lonely moments It was the sound of a city Speaks to me It was the sound of a city Sang me a song For the lonely moments
