fraterville, tn - jake kohn lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
well, ellen, my darling, goodbye for us both
for this fraterville coal mine is taking me home
well, the end’s drawing near now, the air’s growing thin
and i fear i may never see your face again

[verse 2]
won’t you care for the children, keep ’em all fed
for soon, my dear, i’ll be dead
won’t you bury me where our two boys lie
and i hope you stay strong, oh, baby, don’t cry

[chorus]
and oh, god, how i beg you, just one more breath
for soon, i will lie down and i’ll face my death
i love you, sweet ellen, please don’t let me
bring you a burden i know you can’t keep

[verse 3]
well, the love that i have could not be described
and i’ve cursed this d*mn mountain at least ten thousand times
for taking me far from your beautiful smile
follow me to heaven when your last breath expires

[chorus]
and oh, god, how i beg you, for just one more breath
for soon, i will lie down and i’ll face my death
i love you, sweet ellen, please don’t let me
bring you a burden i know you can’t keep
bring you a burden i know you can’t keep
