《Black Waters》歌词

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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