Текст песни The Big Hewer - Ewan MacColl , Peggy Seeger
Out
of
the
dirt
and
darkness,
i
was
born
Go
down
Out
of
the
hard
black
coal
face
i
was
torn
Go
down
Kicked
on
the
world
and
the
earth
split
open
Crawled
through
a
crack
where
the
rug
was
broken
Burrow
the
hole
away
in
the
cold
Go
down
In
the
cradle
of
coal
in
the
darkness
i
was
laid
Go
down
Down
in
the
dirt
and
darkness
i
was
raised
Go
down
Cut
me
teeth
on
a
5 foot
timber
Held
up
the
roof
with
me
little
finger
Started
me
time
away
in
the
mine
Go
down
On
the
day
i
was
born
i
was
6 foot
tall
Go
down
And
the
very
next
day
i
learned
the
way
to
haul
Go
down
On
the
third
day
worked
at
board
and
piller
Worked
on
the
fourth
as
a
long-wall
filler
Getting
me
steam
up,
hewing
the
seam,
Go
down
I'm
the
son
of
the
son
of
the
son
of
a
collier's
son,
Go
down
Coal
dust
runs
in
the
veins
where
the
blood
should
run,
Go
down
Five
steel
ribs
and
an
iron
backbone
Teeth
that
can
bite
through
rock
and
blackstone
Working
me
time,
away
in
the
mine,
Go
down
Three
hundred
years
I
hewed
at
the
coal
by
hand,
Go
down
In
the
pits
of
Durham
and
East
Northumberland,
Go
down
Been
gassed
and
burned
and
blown
asunder
Buried
more
times
than
I
can
number
Getting
the
coal,
away
in
the
hole,
Go
down
I've
scrabbled
and
picked
at
the
face
where
the
roof
was
low,
Go
down
Crawled
in
the
seams
where
only
a
mole
could
go,
Go
down
In
the
thin-cut
seams
I've
ripped
and
redded
Where
even
the
rats
are
born
bow-legged
Winning
the
coal,
away
in
the
hole,
go
down
I've
worked
in
the
Hutton,
the
Plessey,
the
Brockwell
Seam,
Go
down
The
Bensham,
the
Busty,
the
Beaumont,
the
Marshall
Green,
Go
down
I've
lain
on
me
back
in
the
old
three-quarter
Up
to
the
chin
in
stinking
water
Hewing
the
coal,
away
in
the
hole,
Go
down
In
the
northern
pits
I've
sweated
and
earned
me
pay,
go
down
Toiled
in
the
worn-out
drift
mines
night
and
day,
go
down
Where
the
anthracite
is
hard
and
shining
I've
tried
me
hand
at
the
hard-rock
mining
I
dug
a
hole
away
in
the
coal,
go
down
Out
of
the
dirt
and
darkness
I
was
born,
Go
down
Out
of
the
hard
black
coal-face
I
was
torn,
Go
down
Lived
in
the
shade
of
the
high
pit
heap
I'm
still
down
there
where
the
seams
are
deep
Digging
a
hole,
away
in
the
coal,
Go
down
