[00:00.000] 作词 : Austin Lunn
[00:01.000] 作曲 : Austin Lunn
[00:05.727] I come from the mountains, Kentucky's my home,
[00:10.429] where the wild deer, the black bear so lately did roam.
[00:15.985] By the cool rushing waterfalls the wild flowers dream
[00:20.259] and in every green valley there runs a clear stream.
[00:25.815] Now there's scenes of destruction
[00:30.944] on every hand and only black waters, run down through my land.
[00:35.646] Sad scenes of destruction on every hand,
[00:40.775] black waters, black waters run down through my land.
[00:45.476] Well the quail, she is a pretty bird, she sings a sweet tongue.
[00:50.178] in the roots of the tall timber she nests with her young.
[00:55.306] But the hillside explodes with a dynamite's roar and the
[01:00.863] voices of the small birds will sound there no more.
[01:05.564] And the mountain comes a sliding, so awful and grand and the flooding
[01:10.266] black waters rise over my land.
[01:15.395] In the coming of the spring time we planted our corn,
[01:20.523] in the end of the spring time we buried our son.
[01:25.652] In the summer comes a nice man who says everything's fine,
[01:30.781] my employer just requires a way to his mine.
[01:35.055] And they tore down the mountain and covered my corn
[01:40.184] and the grave on the hillside a mile deeper down.
[01:45.313] In the man stands a talking with his hat in his hands
[01:50.442] and the poisonous black waters rise over my land.
[01:55.998] Well I ain't got no money, not much of a home,
[02:00.700] I own my own land but my land's not my own.
[02:05.829] But if I had 10 billion or somewhere thereabouts
[02:10.103] I'd buy Perry County and run 'em all out.
[02:15.659] Sit on the banks with my bait and my can and
[02:20.788] just watch the clear waters run down through my land.
[02:25.489] Now wouldn't that be like the old promised land?
[02:30.618] Black waters, black waters no more in my land.
