DRAGLINES
(Deborah Silverstein)

CHORUS:
Draglines at my heart they're tearing us apart,
And the mountainside where we were born;
Must I weep and mourn for the land
That took ten million years to form,
Now all my eyes can see are just the bleeding scars across the mountainside,
Across the mountainside.

Coalport, P A, just a little town tucked too far away
for anyone to know,
But the folks born and raised
for six generations,
Working day by day,
Trying to keep themselves a home.
CHORUS

Our neighbosr down the road,
They farm twelve acres,
work a heavy load.
Poor as dirt though they tried
till the coal company came through,
Said "we'll mine your land
Take the burden off of you
and we'll see that you get by.
CHORUS

First they tore down their home,
Where their grandma and all the kids were born,
Just brushed it all aside.
Then came the big machines,
ripped up the trees
and muddied all the streams,
while the family stood and cried.

FINAL CHORUS:
Draglines at my heart they're tearing us apart,
And the mountainside where we were born;
Oh take warning that the storm clouds will come
and block out the sun
that's shining on the folks who seek their fortunes off
the families who have died,
trying to survive
across the mountainside.
