《The Caves of Jericho》歌词

[00:00:00] The Caves of Jericho - The Band

[00:00:15] They should have known

[00:00:17] That trouble was brewing

[00:00:23] They should have seen

[00:00:25] What the old men knew

[00:00:31] They should have shut us down

[00:00:34] When the hail fell to the ground

[00:00:38] From a cloudy sky of baby blue

[00:00:48] Three o'clock on a cold cold morning

[00:00:55] The big bell wailed as if on cue

[00:01:02] A woman's scream was heard

[00:01:05] And the news came afterwards

[00:01:09] It's a blow out down in number two

[00:01:17] Down in Jericho Kentucky

[00:01:22] The mines have all caved in

[00:01:26] Down in Jericho

[00:01:31] Broken hearts don't mend

[00:01:36] Tear stained eyes of kin

[00:01:40] Never ever seen

[00:01:43] What their future might have been

[00:01:50] The hat lamps burned

[00:01:51] With a flame like lightning

[00:01:57] The coal dust blanketed the morning dew

[00:02:05] The young ones looked for kin

[00:02:08] And the blind man he looks grim

[00:02:13] 'Cause he sees there's nothing

[00:02:16] That he can do

[00:02:21] They pumped up the mud

[00:02:23] And they chunked out water

[00:02:29] They scratched the earth till it

[00:02:32] Turned to sand

[00:02:36] And a half mile down below

[00:02:40] It's a lost cause the miners know

[00:02:44] Meet your maker boys the time's at hand

[00:02:51] Down in Jericho Kentucky

[00:02:55] The mines have all caved in

[00:03:00] Down in Jericho

[00:03:07] Broken hearts don't mend

[00:03:11] Tears stained eyes of kin

[00:03:15] Never ever seen

[00:03:18] What their future might have been

[00:03:56] The fire boss's hands are clean as a whistle

[00:04:04] The fat cat knows he's a company man

[00:04:11] But he should have bowed down his head

[00:04:15] When they hauled out all the dead

[00:04:19] But it's business boys start 'em up again

[00:04:26] Down in Jericho Kentucky

[00:04:30] The mines have all caved in

[00:04:35] Down in Jericho

[00:04:41] Broken hearts don't mend

[00:04:45] Tears stained eyes of kin

[00:04:49] Never ever seen

[00:04:52] What their future might have been

[00:04:57] Broken hearts don't mend

[00:05:01] Tears stained eyes of kin

[00:05:05] Never ever seen

[00:05:08] What their future might have been
