Luyện nghe bài hát The Dying Doctor

Doctor Leo Hayes was our company
the big coal companies he got his pay
For thirty-nine years he tried to us
And now on his deathbed lay.
He called his five and his three daughters
And at his bed we around
We heard him the history of the coal miners
And he said, "Don't let these down."

You are all connected with the practice of
You promise keep true I know
You do your best to help these people
I my eyes for I must go.
His girl was Doctor Betty
her face so pretty and her smile so sweet
She walked the coal towns of and Byrndale
She saw the sewage flowing down the street.

She saw the children the cankered water
She saw the chickens fly up on the
She saw the overflow the sewers
And their gardens of victory.
She went to the big shots of the Company
She did not beg and she did not
She flatfooted and pounded the table
pipes and bathrooms are what we need.

My dady told me to to cure sickness
But I can't cure sickness with all around
These germs kill people quicker than I can them
We a foundation under every house.
We need a bathroom for every
Yes, you can set there and blink your
Three hundred are out behind me
We will clean this town or the reason why.

I my job as the family doctor
I up my shingle and went on my own
I carried my pillbag and waded waters
I set by a in many a home.
I saw you catch rainwater in washtubs
I saw you come home dirty up out of pits
Watched you ride with coffin up to your graveyard
not a nickel to pay your burying debt.

On July the fifteenth from the around
Three hundred walked down through town
The inspector was testing the water
While he was you stood around.
One miner asked him to a drink free
The inspector out toward our pits
He set his hat back on his and says,
"I wouldn't drink a of that on a bet."

I think of my daddy and brothers and
When we stood his dying bed
When I walk the of the company towns
I can every word my daddy said.
The Shawmut Company is in its own paws
The people not worth the money they
A have died, three hundred not working
thousand tons of coal is lost.
