Luyện nghe bài hát West Virginia Mine Disaster

He passed all your houses on his way to the
He was tall, he was slender, and his dark eyes so
His was mining, West Virginia his home

It was just before twelve, I was feeding the
Ben Moseley came running to bring us the
Number is all flooded, many men are in danger
And we don't know their number, but we they're all doomed

So I up the baby, and I left all the others
To comfort other and to pray for their own
There's Tommy, fourteen, and there's John not younger
Their own soon will be coming to go down the black hole

What I say to his poor little children?
And what will I his dear mother at home?
And what will I say to my heart clear broken?
To my heart that's broken if my baby is gone?

Now, if I had the money to do more than just them
I'd give them good learning, the could be found
So when they growed up be checkers and weighers
And not their life digging in the dark underground

Say, did you see him going, it was early morning
He passed all houses on his way to the coal
He was tall, he was slender, and his dark so tender
His was mining, West Virginia his home
