Brick Kiln Blues It's June, the sun shines, the sky is blue Yet deep in the mountains, nothing sifts through There's no sunlight here, my child, there's no sunlight here On the road side by the railway station A stranger lured you with temptation He's gonna sell you, my child, he's gonna sell you The moon's still up, the cock hasn't crowed You're being whipped 'cause you're tired and slow But you work fifteen hours a day, my child, fifteen hours a day In the river there swims a buffalo Your skin diseased, your eyes shallow They won't let you bathe, my child, they won't let you bathe Those bricks you've baked for over a year They made the owner a millionaire He pays you not a penny, my child, you work for no pay Grass withers in winter, renews in the spring It's the same every day, you hear the bell ring But you cannot go home, my child, you cannot go home Run in the forest, soaked in night dew Guard dogs baying are lookin' for you If you're caught, you're dead, my child, if they catch you, you're dead "Ask the authorities for help?" some say "They should put these evil men in jail." But they sing the same tune, my child, they sing the same tune Edited December 9, 2009 by Lake Link to post Share on other sites
