Скачать или смотреть Maria Daines ~ Dirty Coal

This song is inspired by 'Inside Appalachia - First Impressions us' a ‪@PeterSantenello‬ documentary on YouTube about the hard working people of West Virginia whose lives have changed through the years and since the end of coal mining.

'Dirty Coal'

Dead town without the dirty coal
Watch 'em come n' watch 'em go
Had it all like the river flow
Left it there so long ago, dirty coal

Spent it all at the company store
Wasn't worth much n' it didn't go far
Couldn't spend it further up the road
Got what the black stuff, the black stuff owed, yeah

Remember my people, they all gone down
Down the road, another empty town
Hard times made us n' we all know
Dirty coal still blowin', blowin' through our soul, yeah

'Lectric comin' for the 'vironment
Don't mean nothin', can't pay the rent
Think they got us all bought n' sold
Livin' in a holler, no wheels, no gold, dirty coal, yeah

West Virginia, some make it some don't
Tell us what to do cos you know we won't
Raised on nothin' from the young to the old
Lived n' died by the dirty coal, dirty coal, yeah

Remember my people, they all gone down
Down the road, another empty town
Hard times made us n' we all know
Dirty coal still blowin', blowin' through our soul, yeah, alright

Remember my people, they all gone down
Down the road, another empty town
Hard times made us n' we all know
Dirty coal still blowin', blowin' through our soul
Blowin' through our soul
Blowin' through our soul
Dirty coal, dirty coal
