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

[00:00:01] Written by：Dick Weissman

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

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

[00:00:21] How us and Johnny

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:59] Are gone in black

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

[00:02:06] Well the pits

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

[00:02:14] What work

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:02:48] Johnny had a dream

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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