And I saw , Aly Bain, With his fiddle in the group, His fiddle Sighs, Crys, It leads Napoleon's Retreat. Then there's the fiend for his dope, And a drunkard his whine, But who pity's the pore Miner, way down in the mine, Its as dark as the dungeon, Damp as the dew, Pity the pore Miner,, Way down in the mine, He has only one blessing, If he can walk out the portal at the end of each day. It's as dark as the dungeon, Lord, Damp as the dew, The dangers are many, And pleasures but few.
I love every song Guy Clark ever wrote or sang or hell, ever listened to. *Beautiful* ensemble.
Jerry Damn Douglas. Damn.
A favorite song. A favorite rendition. Everyone here "means it"!
