(Verse)
|
David, I never expected to see you
|
Face black with soot down and a fire in your eyes
|
David, I never intended to grieve you
|
Meant to disgrace you
|
Your face black with soot and your eyes
|
|
(Verse)
|
Mother, my brother is dead in the gutter
|
Dead in the gutter, oh my baby brother
|
Mother, my father is down in the ground
|
Down under, mining, fetching the white man his gold
|
|
(Hook)
|
Down under, mining
|
Down under, mining
|
Fetching the white man his gold
|
Down under, mining
|
Down under, mining
|
Fetching the white man his gold
|
|
(Bridge)
|
Oh Town of Johannes
|
Your spell is upon us,
|
Your spell and your lust
|
The dust chokes above and it chokes down below
|
But they from near and far come
|
I don’t what they’re looking for
|
I don’t what they’re looking for
|
|
Fetching the white man his gold
|
Down under, mining
|
Down under, mining
|
The dust chokes above and it chokes down below
|
Down under, mining
|
Down under, mining
|
The dust chokes above and it chokes down below
|
Down under, mining
|
Down under, mining
|
The dust chokes above and it chokes down below
|
