lyrics

I'm a folk singer I'm one helluva mess so
Excuse me while I clear my chest

I got a beef with that mine off 510
In the land called the Yellow Dog
Let's not pretend that we honor sacred land
That feeds the great lake
They're breakin up the Eagle Rock
I'm mad enough to blow my top

(I'm stealing summertime, they stole mine)

Can't you taste, can't you taste
Heavy metals in the streams?
I know you fear, I know you fear
Losing jobs but we're gettin robbed here
So your daddy worked and his daddy worked hard
Mining underground we are so proud proud proud
You claim that's heritage, claim that heritage
I call that pride before the collapse of the mine
Pride before the collapse of the mine

You can have your nickel
Better save your dimes
Because the way you treat the earth
Making the grandbabies hurt

(They'll sing)
I live on the living half of a half dead mining town
You can throw a rock from here or there and you'll hit condemned ground
I've seen trees grow right through concrete
Foundations and structures where ol miners used to weep
After long days workin for penny pay
Now crows eat the apples that have fallen on their graves

Teal lake still laps the shore the fish bite my hook
Maybe that mine was all folklore but I see all the land they took
One thing I'm damn sure it won't happen again
So if you get your check from Lundin Mine
Quit your job and sing with me just one refrain, my friend

I drink water everyday
It brings me life
Hip hip hooray
