เพลง Harry Stone - Hearts of Coal

Harry Stone - Hearts of Coal - John Tams

Harry Stone was a miner born

He worked to win his wages

Riding down the cages

And raging at the seams

He worked his stall from dusk till dawn

Sweet sweat and raw endeavour

Black diamonds bound together

By a strong and simple means

He met a girl from Ironville

He promised he would love her

He'd put no one above her

At last they went to town

He promised he would love her

'Til the blackbirds stopped their singing

The mission bell stopped ringing

And they closed the coal pit down

Where are you tonight now we need you

Left out in the cold cold

Where are you tonight now we need you

They broke the hearts of coal

Hearts of coal

They raised their children chapel proud

The lamb and the flag to guide them

They each strove to provide them

With a sense of right from wrong

And when the strikes and lock outs came

And bare foot hunger tried them

All hopes were denied them

Their unity held strong

Where are you tonight now we need you

Left out in the cold cold

Where are you tonight now we need you

They broke the hearts of coal

Hearts of coal

Forty years of coal dust

Is a lot of pain to carry

It made a cripple out of Harry

But his family came and took up his tools

And they faced the Orgreave cavalry

While the world looked on and wondered

Their right to work was plundered

By the statesman ship of fools

Where are you tonight now we need you

Left out in the cold cold

Where are you tonight now we need you

They broke the hearts of coal

Hearts of coal

The enemy within they cried

And the boney finger pointed

Dripping gold from the anointed

At the beggar and her bowl

And just like the Union said he would

The axeman came in dancing

His psychopathic prancing

Chopped out the hearts of coal

Where are you tonight now we need you

Left out in the cold cold

Where are you tonight now we need you

They broke the hearts of coal

Hearts of coal

Where are you tonight now we need you

Left out in the cold cold

Where are you tonight now we need you

They broke the hearts of coal

Hearts of coal

He promised he would love her

'Til the blackbirds stopped their singing

The mission bells stopped ringing

And they closed the coal pit down
