The Dead South - Black Lung (Official Audio)

[@mariom5164]

By seeing the title it just reminded me to Red Dead Redemption 2, of how Micah Bell calls Arthur when he gets sick, actually all your songs fit amazing in that game. I love the New ones amazing work 💥🧨🐎🌅

[@julianaborovyk]

When I saw this title Arthur was the first thing to spring to my mind.

love this song

[@PewterBird]

this was always my favorite Dead South track after 'Good Company' and I'm kinda surprised it's not more popular. compared to their simpler music this song is such a rich and textured and layered tapestry of storytelling and musicianship. someone said it would make a great TV series intro and they weren't kidding. this thing is so ripe for the picking. disappointed that it never got picked up 🙃

First.. Best Band ever. =) Cheers from Austria

Lyrics Basically we are all alone at the centre of a pickaxe mine Black lung stings as the pickaxe swings And the void of the mine closes in The Devil came and the angels sang The song of the Holy Ghost Tempted the soul from the pennies to the gold Like the dust I spit from my mouth. Whoa-oa-oh-oh-oh-oa, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oa Whoa-oa-oh-oh-oh-oa, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oa Remember the night with the barroom fight Where I killed all of my best friends We gambled it away with the whiskey open keg And we never saw it again Well,I had a wife that I met back in high school Her name was Lyla-Jean We saved away to escape some place On a local miner's minor pay. Whoa-oa-oh-oh-oh-oa, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oa Whoa-oa-oh-oh-oh-oa, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oa We saved so long the fall came and gone At least 27 times It fell through the floorboards into deep dark darkness And we never saw it again West Virginia's home and that's where we're staying To the blade of the Bible hymn Jesus says we're wicked so we just keep on pickin' At the scab of the open mine. Whoa-oa-oh-oh-oh-oa, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oa Whoa-oa-oh-oh-oh-oa, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oa

[@conken5623]

I have noticed, even though your fantastic blue grass musicians, as many else are, but where you shine above the rest, is your slower ballads..

[@douglasoldale639]

How do they make pure Americana sound so new!?

[@bettybudzinski6602]
