O, my mountain rose
Sing me one last song
Sing me one last song ‘fore we go
For the mill is closed
And the work’s all gone
But the Company lingers on
They own our house
They own our yard
They own the bed where we’re lying
And they own the foreman
In his big motor car
They own our baby’s crying
If I had my way
My darling dear
If I had my way, O, to dream
I would walk on down
To the Company Store
I’d buy bullets and gasoline
I would knock on every mansion door
From here to Industrial Park
Crying “master dear
Though your eyes now close
Can you see those flames in the dark?”
Crying “master, master”
Eyes now closed
“Can you see those flames in the dark?”
Sing me one last song
Sing me one last song ‘fore we go
For the mill is closed
And the work’s all gone
But the Company lingers on
They own our house
They own our yard
They own the bed where we’re lying
And they own the foreman
In his big motor car
They own our baby’s crying
If I had my way
My darling dear
If I had my way, O, to dream
I would walk on down
To the Company Store
I’d buy bullets and gasoline
I would knock on every mansion door
From here to Industrial Park
Crying “master dear
Though your eyes now close
Can you see those flames in the dark?”
Crying “master, master”
Eyes now closed
“Can you see those flames in the dark?”
