Letra de Cousin Jack

This land is bar-ren and bro-ken
Scarred like the face of the moon
Our tongue is no lon-ger spo-ken
And the Towns all a-round face ruin
Will there be work in New Bruns-wick?
Will I find gold in the Cape?
If I tunnel way down to Australia
Oh, will I ever escape?
Where there's a mine or a hole in the ground
That's what I'm heading for that's where I'm bound
So look for me under the
lode and inside the vein
Where the copper, the clay, the arsenic, and tin
Run in your blood and under your skin
I'll leave the county behind I'm not coming back
Oh, follow me down cousin Jack
The soil was to poor to make Eden
Granite and sea left no choice
Though visions of heaven sustained us
When John Wesley gave us a voice
Did Joseph once come to St Michaels Mount
Two thousand years pass in a dream
When you're working your way in the darkness
Deep in the heart of the seam
Where there's a mine or a hole in the ground
That's what I'm heading for that's where I'm bound
So look for me under the lode and inside the vein
Where the copper, the clay, the arsenic, and tin
Run in your blood and under your skin
I'll leave the county behind I'm not coming back
Oh follow me down cousin Jack
I dream of a bridge on the Tamar
It opens us up to the East
And the English they live in our houses
The Spanish fish in these seas
Where there's a mine or a hole in the ground
That's what I'm heading for that's where I'm bound
So look for me under the lode and inside the vein
Where the copper, the clay, the arsenic, and tin
Run in your blood and under your skin
I'll leave the county behind I'm not coming back
Oh follow me down cousin Jack
