Luyện nghe bài hát The Dying Doctor

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

His youngest girl was Betty
With her face so and her smile so sweet
She walked the coal towns of and Byrndale
She saw the waters flowing down the street.

She saw the children drink the water
She saw the fly up on the roof
She saw the waters the sewers
And flood gardens of victory.
She went to the big shots of the Company
She did not beg and she did not
She stood flatfooted and the table
Sewer pipes and bathrooms are we need.

But I cure sickness with sewage all around

Watched you with your coffin up to your graveyard
With not a nickel to pay your debt.

Three hundred miners walked down town
The state was testing the water

One miner him to have a drink free
The inspector out toward our pits
He set his hat on his head and says,
"I drink a drop of that on a bet."

I think of my and brothers and sisters

When I the streets of the company towns
I can every word my daddy said.
The Shawmut Company is caught in its own
The people not worth the money cost
A hundred have died, three hundred not
thousand tons of coal is lost.
