lyrics

This world is barren and broken
Scared like the face of the moon
Our tongue is no longer spoken
Towns all around facing ruin
Will there be work in New Brunswick
Or will I strike Gold in the Cape
If I tunnel my way down to Australia
How will I ever escape?

Where there's a mine of a hole in the ground
That's where I'm heading for that's where I'm bound
Look for me under lode
Or inside the vein
Where the copper, the clay, the arsenic and tin
Run in your blood they get under your skin
I'm leaving the county behind
And I'm not coming back
So follow me down cousin jack

Soils to poor to make Eden
Granite and sea left no choice
Though dreams of heaven sustained us
John Wesley gave us the voice
Did Joseph once come to St. Michaels mount?
Two thousand years pass in a dream
When you're working you way in the darkness
Deep at the heart of a seam

Where there's a mine of a hole in the ground
That's where I'm heading for that's where I'm bound
Look for me under lode
Or inside the vein
Where the copper, the clay, the arsenic and tin
Run in your blood they get under your skin
I'm leaving the county behind
And I'm not coming back
So follow me down cousin jack

I dream of a bridge
Across the Tamar
It opens us
Up to the east
I see
Englishmen live in our houses
And the Spanish
Fishing in out seas

Where there's a mine of a hole in the ground
That's where I'm heading for that's where I'm bound
Look for me under lode
Or inside the vein
Where the copper, the clay, the arsenic and tin
Run in your blood they get under your skin
I'm leaving the county behind
And I'm not coming back
So follow me down cousin jack
Follow me down cousin jack
Follow me down cousin Jack
