Ten Thousand to Carlisle Came Lyrics by Pinetop Seven

Bringing Home the Last Great Strike

2000

Ten thousand came
In the summer to see
Things dirty glass
A girl no one knew
They stood her out front with a sign 'round her neck
Hoped she would draw the young dead-ends in
Sure enough, in carloads they came
Just to see this sadness displayed
There she stands
There she stands, straighter than we'll be
Any time soon
Where was the rhyme as our tongues worked the words?
Laughed at the girl found in the hay
While the heads sang with the coffee we sipped, with the elbows and arms of the ones we'd all [?]
To spite us in carloads they came
Just to see this sadness displayed
There she stands
There she stands, straighter than we'll be
Any time soon
Cut the lights off
Pull the car close
Let the gasoline run beneath the locked door
Throw the match down
Throw the match down
Let her sleep
Let her sleep
