Buffalo Creek

Buffalo Creek - American Minor

The sky was as black as the water

And you could choke on the breeze

And the coal miner＇s daughters

They were shouting from the trees

'Come on come on

And stop staring like a dead man

Come on come on

Baby take my hand

No goodbyes no sympathy

One by one they were gone

Lord I ain＇t never felt so weak

Since the day the damn broke

Down at buffalo creek

Hey don＇t you know we ain＇t got no place

We ain＇t got no place to go

Hey yeah don＇t you know we ain＇t go no place to go＂

I feel as naked as the day I was born

I was marked by a bad sign

My daddy kicked the bucket in the second world war

My momma drowned in the tears sent down by the lord

They said ＂come on come on

You gotta find some higher ground

Come on come on

You ain＇t got time to be standing around＂

No goodbyes no sympathy

One by one they were gone

Lord I ain＇t never felt so weak

Since the day the damn broke

Down at buffalo creek

＂hey don＇t you know we ain＇t got no place

We ain＇t got no place to go

Hey yeah don＇t you know we ain＇t go no place to go＂

I lost my momma

I lost my kin

In the black black river

Makes a man shiver

Again and again and again
