Down Under, Mining Lyrics by Dear Reader

Rivonia

0

David I never expected to see you
Face black with soot and a fire in your eyes
David I never intended to grieve you
Meant to disgrace you
Your face black with soot and your eyes

Mother my brother is dead in the gutter
Dead in the gutter, oh my baby brother
Mother my father is down in the ground
Down under mining
Fetching the white man his gold
Down under mining
Down under mining
Fetching the white man his gold
Down under mining
Down under mining
Fetching the white man his gold

Oh Town of Johannes your spell is upon us
Your spell and your lust
The dust chokes above and it chokes down below
But they from near and far come
I don’t know what they’re looking for
I don’t know what they’re looking for

Fetching the white man his gold
Down under mining
Down under mining
The dust chokes above and it chokes down below
Fetching the white man his gold
Down under mining
Down under mining
The dust chokes above and it chokes down below
Fetching the white man his gold
Down under mining
Down under mining
The dust chokes above and it chokes down below
Fetching the white man his gold
