Dori Freeman - Appalachian
текст песни

I come from the holler, me and the flowers got taller
We reached right out to the sun, we drank up all of the rain
Like a spider we spun
Our web in all directions

They'll try to wither you right down, tear you up from the red ground
If you're poor then you're stupid and blind
But I'd say a calloused hand
Is far better than a callous mind

I'm an Appalachian, I'm a Cripple Creek pearl
I'm a can to ash in, for the rest of the world

Another city they're carving, and here the people are starving
And we send our kids off to school
Hoping whatever they're read, whatever they're fed
Is enough to get em through

Working forty-five hours, while all the people in power
Keep us under their boot
Swear it's for our own sake, put the money we make
In the pockets of their suits

I'm an Appalachian, I'm a Cripple Creek pearl
I'm a can to ash in, for the rest of the world
I'm an Appalachian, I'm a Cripple Creek pearl
I'm a can to ash in, for the rest of the world
