| [00:00.300] |
Oh, once I was a young man |
| [00:04.490] |
Looked over vales and hills |
| [00:09.000] |
Saw myself a future |
| [00:13.200] |
Of riches and of thrills |
| [00:17.560] |
But on me fifteenth birthday |
| [00:21.790] |
I paid my union dues |
| [00:26.290] |
And they sent me deep into the ground |
| [00:34.490] |
Oh, the winter wind can blow me colder |
| [00:38.490] |
Oh, the summer's heat can parch me dry |
| [00:42.830] |
But I'll not leave here for a fortune |
| [00:46.980] |
I shall never leave here till I die |
| [01:00.490] |
Oh, once I had a family |
| [01:04.490] |
Sons to make you proud |
| [01:09.300] |
They have gone and left me now |
| [01:13.490] |
And I'll count the time out loud |
| [01:18.170] |
For now, I am an old man |
| [01:22.350] |
Just waiting for me turn |
| [01:26.770] |
Till they take me back into the ground |
| [01:35.150] |
Oh, the winter wind can blow me colder |
| [01:39.160] |
Oh, the summer's heat can parch me dry |
| [01:43.490] |
But I'll not leave here for a fortune |
| [01:47.860] |
I shall never leave here till I die |
| [01:52.490] |
Oh, the winter wind can blow me colder |
| [01:56.430] |
Oh, the summer's heat can parch me dry |
| [02:00.80] |
But I'll love these dark, dark hills forever |
| [02:05.490] |
And I won't leave them untill I die |
| [02:18.670] |
Oh, once I loved a woman |
| [02:23.250] |
She meant all the world to me |
| [02:27.890] |
Saw ourselves a future |
| [02:32.000] |
As far as I could see |
| [02:36.500] |
But I was only forty-seven |
| [02:40.540] |
When they took her down from me |
| [02:45.330] |
And buried her deep... |
| [02:53.560] |
Oh, the winter wind can blow me colder |
| [02:57.560] |
Oh, the summer's heat can parch me dry |
| [03:01.500] |
But I'll love these dark, dark hills forever |
| [03:06.000] |
And I won't leave them untill I die |
| [03:13.250] |
“Merry Christmas, Dad. ”“ |
| [03:17.490] |
“Merry Christmas, Son. ”“ |
