《Blantyre Explosion》歌词

[00:00:05] Blantyre Explosion - Christy Moore

[00:00:40] By Clyde's bonny banks as I slowly did wander

[00:00:51] Among the pit heaps as the evening grew nigh

[00:01:02] I spied a young woman all dressed in black mourning

[00:01:14] Weeping and wailing with many a sigh

[00:01:25] I stepped up beside her and gently addressed her

[00:01:36] Would it help you to talk about the cause of your pain

[00:01:47] Weeping and wailing at last she did answer

[00:01:58] Johnny Murphy kind sir is my true lover's name

[00:02:09] Twenty one years of age full of youth and good looking

[00:02:21] To work down the mine of High Blantyre he came

[00:02:32] Our wedding was fixed all the guests were invited

[00:02:43] That calm summers' evening my Johnny was slain

[00:02:54] The explosion was heard by the women and children

[00:03:06] With pale anxious faces they ran to the mine

[00:03:17] When the news was made known all the hills rang with mourning

[00:03:28] Thee hundred and ten Scottish miners were slain

[00:03:40] Mothers and daughters and sweethearts and lovers

[00:03:49] The Blantyre explosion you'll never forget

[00:04:02] All you good people who hear my sad story

[00:04:13] Remember the miners who lie at their rest
