Business as Usual

歌詞

Dawson Well the marshall came to town And his hat was pulled way down He looked like he had business on his mind He didn't stop to say He just rode along his way ‘Til he stopped in at the office of the mine chorus: Dirty business, dirty business Dirty business down in coal creek Dirty business down in coal creek This morning Well, I make two bucks a day And that ain't a healthy pay My kids are just beginning to get sick There's talk been goin' round How they're gonna shut it down If the man don't come and fix things Pretty quick repeat chorus Pretty soon there was a crowd It was getting' pretty loud And the men all said there'd be no work today But the owner wouldn't budge He just sat there like a judge And he wouldn't give a nickel more in pay chorus: Dirty business, dirty business Dirty business down in coal creek Dirty business down in coal creek This morning Just then they heard the sound That rumbled from the ground And everyone was rushing for the door The dust came pouring out And it finally left no doubt That the mine was not at issue anymore repeat chorus
