Jesse Got Trapped in a Coal Mine

作曲 : Avi Vinocur/Patrick Dyer Wolf

Jesse got trapped in a coal mine diggin in the dark black pearl

Jesse got trapped in a coal mine never did marry his girl

There ain't no air and there ain't no light

and there ain't no way to make it out alive

His wedding was planned for the 5th of July

But Jesse got trapped in a coal mine and never did marry his girl

Your hands gets black and your eyes gets burned your lungs get tired and poor

It draws you in like a opium den and beckons you back for more

There ain't no air and there ain't no light

and there ain't no way to make it out alive

His wedding was planned for the 5th of July

But Jesse got trapped in a coal mine and never did marry his girl

Down down under West Virginia

Down down in the pitch black earth

Down down on her knees she cried

My love is somewhere in that mountain

Jesse got trapped in a coal mine diggin in the dark black pearl

Jesse got trapped in a coal mine never did marry his girl

She held out hope for a couple of months that he was still living somewhere

that he'd put up the strongest kind of fight

and he'd dig himself out with the dynamite

And he'd finally be free on the 5th of July

But Jesse got trapped in the coal mine and never did marry his girl

Down down under West Virginia

Down down in the pitch black earth

Down down on her knees she cried

Down down deep below the surface

Down down by the mason dixon line

Down down on her knees she cried

My love is somewhere in that mountain
