Sweet Guinevere |
| Sweet Guinevere you’re off to the coal town tonight |
| And your young brother Ernie’s up in Pittsburgh PA |
| You know mother loves you, and dad’s in the mine |
| So don’t go to the coal town, Guinevere, if you’re kind |
| She loves a young man and he lives in the town |
| And he leaves the house early for he works underground |
| He makes a good wage for a coal miner’s son |
| And she’s a bit pretty, just turned twenty-one |
| Sweet Guinevere you’re off to the coal town tonight |
| And your young brother Ernie’s up in Pittsburgh PA |
| You know mother loves you, and dad’s in the mine |
| So don’t go to the coal town, Guinevere, shut the blind |
| She knows her good mother’s not feelin' no pain |
| She remembers an explosion and the black falling rain |
| She paints her thin lips in her dewy-eyed way |
| Then she says to the daughter, dear daughter I pray |
| Sweet Guinevere you’re off to the coal town tonight |
| And your young brother Ernie’s up in Pittsburgh PA |
| You know mother loves you, and dad’s in the mine |
| So don’t go to the coal town, Guinevere, if you’re kind |
