Saint Anne's Prayer

I come from Carbon County,
In the heart of Panther Valley,
Mining Leighigh Coal, and dreaming 'bout my Sally.
I'm dreaming 'bout my Sally!

Working the shadow of the mountain,
Where all my time is spent,
Digging without redemption,
Until I'm old and bent.
Soon I'll be old and bent!

Saint Anne, Saint Anne,
Take my hand, take my hand,
Saint Anne, Saint Anne,
Don't let the walls come down!

I hear the rollers echo,
A dark, unholy sound.
The dust, the dark, the danger,
There's a rumblin' in the ground,
a rumblin' in the ground!

My head is light and spinning,
Can't seem to find my way,
Canary's stopped her singing,
Behold! The judgemnt day.
Behold the Judgement Day!

Saint Anne, Saint Anne,
Take my hand, take my hand,
Saint Anne, Saint Anne,
Don't let the walls come down!

I see the Black Maria,
She's coming to take me home.
Poor Sally, stop your weeping,
For I won't leave you alone.
I won't leave you alone!

Saint Anne, Saint Anne,
Take my hand, take my hand,
Saint Anne, Saint Anne
Don't let the walls come down!

Saint Anne, Saint Anne,
Take my hand, take my hand,
Saint Anne, Saint Anne,
Lead me to the Promised Land!
Saint Anne!
