《Fare You Well， Polly》歌词

[00:00:00] Fare ye well old Ely Branch fare ye well I say

[00:00:17] I'm tired o' livin' on dried beef and tomatoes

[00:00:18] And I'm a goin' away

[00:00:19] When we had a strike in Ely this spring these words ol' Hughes did say

[00:00:23] Come along boys go back to work we'll give you the two weeks' pays

[00:00:24] When they put on their mining clothes hard work again they tried

[00:00:29] And when ol' payday rolled around they found ol' Hughes had lied

[00:00:31] So fare ye well old Ely Branch fare ye well I say

[00:00:32] I'm tired o' livin' on dried beef and tomatoes

[00:00:35] And I'm a goin' away

[00:00:36] When Hughes thinks his mines was goin' to stop a sight to see him frown

[00:00:56] There's gas enough in old Hughes to blow these mountains down

[00:00:59] Oh take your children outta Ely Branch before they cry for bread

[00:01:05] For when ol' Hughes' debts are paid he won't be worth a thread

[00:01:07] So fare ye well old Ely Branch fare ye well I say

[00:01:10] I'm tired o' livin' on dried beef and tomatoes

[00:01:12] And I'm a goin' away

[00:01:12] Now Hughes claims he owns more mines than these he says he gots money to lend

[00:01:30] But when ol' payday rolls around he can't pay off his men

[00:01:32] I'd rather be in Pine Grove jail with my back all covered in lice

[00:01:36] Than to be in old Hughes' coal mines diggin' coal at Hughes' price

[00:01:39] I think John Yaeger's a very nice man he's the same ol' John every day

[00:01:41] But a man can't live can't live on dried beef and tomatoes an' I'm a goin' away

[00:01:46] So fare ye well old Ely Branch fare ye well I say

[00:01:47] I'm tired o' livin' on dried beef and tomatoes

[00:01:48] And I'm a goin' away
