Lyrics for A Toast to Those Who Are Gone by Phil Ochs:
| | | Artist: | Phil Ochs |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | A Toast to Those Who Are Gone | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 54 | | | | Lyrics: | C Am
Many's the hour I've lain by my window
C
Am
and thought of the people who carried the burden
C
Am
Who marched in the strange fields in search of an answers
C Am
G
And ended their journeys an unwilling hero
Am Em
Am G
Here's a song to those who are gone with never a reason why
Em
Am
And a toast of the wine at the end of the line
D7
G
And a toll of the bell for the next one to die
Back in the coal fields of old
Harlan county
Some talked of the union, some talked of good wages
And they lined them up in
the dark of the forests
And shot them down without asking no questions
Here's a song to
those who are gone with never a reason why
And a toast of the wine to the end of the
line
And a toll of the bell for the next one to die
And over the ocean, to the red
Spanish soil
came the lincoln brigade with their dreams
But they fell in the fire of
germany's bombing
And they fell 'cause no one would hear their sad warning
Here's a
song to those who are gone with never a reason why
And a toast of the wine at the end of the
line
And a toll of the bell for the next one to die
In old Alabama, in old
Mississippi
Two states of the union so often found guilty
They came on the busses, they came
on the marches
And they lay in the jails or they fell by the highway
Here's a song to
those who are gone with never a reason why
And a toast of the wine at the end of the
line
And a toll of the bell for the next one to die
