Dawn / Worst of All
Lyrics
Elijah the breaker boy has the black lung Elijah is one of the lucky few & it looks to me the rest of his story is no fun at all The caged bird has flown Dead and gone like all the others All the men and the boys All the boys in the mine Henry oh Henry the husband of Bonnie Oh Bonnie your man has left you & when it feels too cold Bonnie wears her dear Henry's coat The caged bird has flown Dead and gone like the others Lost in the tunnels Their narrow coal homes Worst of all were the children of Quincy They have a history of wandering When the ground fell down the twins were never found The caged bird has flown Dead and gone like the others All the rain is a black veil of suffering & it falls on the Caroline Mine The Caroline Mine Death and injury Under the surface Your sons and mine Suddenly silent
