《One Woman and a Shovel》歌词

[00:00:00] One Woman And A Shovel - Carrie Newcomer

[00:00:15] Martha walked right down to the dam

[00:00:18] I hoe and a shovel in either hand

[00:00:21] She was bound to dig for every woman and man

[00:00:24] And child that lay sick with fever

[00:00:27] The government men said "Be our favorite sons

[00:00:30] Be a place of worth some where and someone

[00:00:33] If you drown this valley the canal boats will come "

[00:00:36] So they drowned their lovely valley

[00:00:40] But the waters grew black and the sickness came

[00:00:42] They hung their heads in grief and shame

[00:00:45] Martha said "We've only ourselves to blame "

[00:00:48] And took up a shovel and hoe Good Lord

[00:00:51] Took up a shovel and hoe

[00:00:54] When it's time to say enough and set things right

[00:00:57] The whole world is waist deep in trouble

[00:01:02] Never doubt or question the power of love

[00:01:05] Or one woman with a shovel

[00:01:21] Along came Elizabeth Sarah and Rose

[00:01:23] Eva Clara and Ruth

[00:01:26] They came with picks and shovels

[00:01:28] And hoes and armed with a righteous truth

[00:01:33] Join by Calvin Eli and Scott

[00:01:35] Timothy David and Paul

[00:01:38] And together before sun came up

[00:01:41] They tore down the cursed wall

[00:01:44] Yes yes

[00:01:45] They tore down the cursed wall

[00:01:48] When it's time to say enough and set things right

[00:01:51] The whole world is waist deep in trouble

[00:01:55] Never doubt or question the power of love

[00:01:58] Or one woman with a shovel

[00:02:14] The lake finally bled it's bad blood south

[00:02:16] And they'd saved that ravaged land

[00:02:19] Not a single soul jury or judge

[00:02:23] Think to fine or jail them

[00:02:26] Think to fine or jail them

[00:02:29] Martha walked right down to the dam

[00:02:32] Hoe and a shovel in either hand

[00:02:35] She was bound to dig for every woman and man

[00:02:38] Child who lay sick with fever

[00:02:41] When it's time to say enough and set things right

[00:02:44] The whole world is waist deep in trouble

[00:02:48] Never doubt or question the power of love

[00:02:51] Or one woman with a shovel

[00:02:54] Never doubt or question the power of love

[00:02:57] Or one woman with a shovel
