《Dogs At Midnight》歌词

[00:00:00] Dogs At Midnight - Tom Paxton

[00:00:09] You might hear dogs at midnight

[00:00:12] High up a treeless hill

[00:00:16] Workin' their own graveyard shift

[00:00:19] And howlin' out their fill

[00:00:22] While down below in Coal Town

[00:00:26] A woman lies awake

[00:00:29] And hears her sleeping husband fight

[00:00:33] For every breath he takes

[00:00:35] Oh the rockslide may not get you

[00:00:39] The fire might pass you by

[00:00:42] When the gas goes up

[00:00:44] It might not be your time to die

[00:00:49] But every year gets harder

[00:00:53] To draw a simple breath

[00:00:56] When the black lung gets you

[00:00:58] That's the kiss of death

[00:01:16] You might see old men waiting

[00:01:19] On the county courthouse green

[00:01:23] Tellin' tales at noontime

[00:01:26] Of the bitter sights they've seen

[00:01:29] It makes a postcard picture there

[00:01:33] Beside the courthouse door

[00:01:36] Unless you know just why they're waitin'

[00:01:40] And what they're waitin' for

[00:01:43] Oh the rockslide may not get you

[00:01:46] The fire might pass you by

[00:01:49] When the gas goes up

[00:01:52] It might not be your time to die

[00:01:56] But every year gets harder

[00:02:00] To draw a simple breath

[00:02:03] When the black lung gets you

[00:02:05] That's the kiss of death

[00:02:09] Oh the rockslide may not get you

[00:02:13] The fire might pass you by

[00:02:16] When the gas goes up

[00:02:18] It might not be your time to die

[00:02:23] But every year gets harder

[00:02:27] To draw a simple breath

[00:02:29] When the black lung gets you

[00:02:32] That's the kiss of death

[00:02:36] When the black lung gets you

[00:02:39] That's the kiss of death
