Luyện nghe bài hát The Dying Doctor

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

You are all connected with the practice of
You promise you'll true I know
You will do your best to help these
I close my for I must go.
His youngest girl was Doctor
With her face so 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 fly up on the roof
She saw the overflow the sewers
And flood gardens of victory.
She went to the big of the Shawmut Company
She did not beg and she did not
She stood and pounded the table
Sewer pipes and bathrooms are we need.

My dady told me to to cure sickness
But I cure sickness with sewage all around
These germs kill people than I can cure them
We need a under every house.
We need a for every family
Yes, you can set and blink your eyes
Three hundred miners are out me
We clean this town or know the reason why.

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

On July the from the hills around
Three hundred miners walked down town
The state inspector was testing the
he was working you stood around.
One miner asked him to have a free
The inspector looked out our pits
He set his hat on his head and says,
"I drink a drop of that on a bet."

I of my daddy and brothers and sisters
When we around his dying bed
When I walk the of the company towns
I can hear word my daddy said.
The Company is caught in its own paws
The people not worth the money they
A hundred have died, three hundred not
Thirty tons of coal is lost.
