I LOST MY WIFE AND FAMILY IN THE COLLAPSE OF 59 
GAVE MYSELF TO THE PEMBERTON MILL, I ESCAPED WITH JUST MY LIFE 
I HAD NO HOME, I HAD NO JOB, I LOST IT ALL THAT DAY  
THE SMELL OF THE SMOKE AND THE BURNING DEATH 
I HAD TO LEAVE, I COULD NOT STAY (Dynamic Build)
 
I DREAM, DREAM OF A DIFFERENT LIFE, ONE BEREFT OF TROUBLE AND STRIFE  
THE SUN COMES UP AND THE SUN GOES DOWN 
TILL THE DAY THEY LAY ME IN THE GROUND 
 
I WENT TO WORK ON THE IRON ROAD, FIVE MEN TO MOVE THE RAILS 
SIXTEEN HOURS AND A DOLLAR A DAY, SWING THE HAMMER AND PIN THE RAILS 
HEAR THE SOUND OF THE HAMMER, BEAT IN TIME WITH THE SONG OF MEN 
CAN YOU HEAR THE CAPTAIN SHOUTING, SWING THAT HAMMER AGAIN AND AGAIN 
 
I DREAM, DREAM OF A DIFFERENT LIFE, ONE BEREFT OF TROUBLE AND STRIFE
THE SUN COMES UP AND THE SUN GOES DOWN 
TILL THE DAY THEY LAY ME IN THE GROUND 

THE MOUNTAIN SHOWS NO MERCY AS WE BLOW UP ITS INSIDES 
I’LL NEVER FORGET THAT VIOLENT DAY, I SAW IT WITH MY OWN EYES 
THE BLINDING FLASH, AND THE SMELL OF SMOKE, THEN EVERYTHING WAS STILL 
JUST LIKE THAT DAY FOUR YEARS AGO, THAT DAY AT THE PEMBERTON MILL (diamond-4 quarter rests)

I DREAM, DREAM OF A DIFFERENT LIFE, ONE BEREFT OF TROUBLE AND STRIFE 
THE SUN COMES UP AND THE SUN GOES DOWN 
TILL THE DAY THEY LAY ME IN THE GROUND 
I DREAM, DREAM OF A DIFFERENT LIFE, ONE BEREFT OF TROUBLE AND STRIFE 
THE SUN COMES UP AND THE SUN GOES DOWN 
TILL THE DAY THEY LAY ME IN THE GROUND
