Dublin Gulch

Lyrics

Farewell, Johnny Miner 
 
Johnny Miner, you were born 
Never to see the risin’ dawn
Now, it’s time that you were gone
So, farewell Johnny Miner
 
CHORUS
And farewell Butte, Finn Town, too
Dublin Gulch, the same to you
Walkerville, we’ll bid adieu
And farewell, Johnny Miner
 
You battled hard with drill and scale
Lungs turned black and faces pale
Now, your body’s up for sale
So, farewell Johnny Miner
 
CHORUS
 
They promised you the earth sometimes
For to dig the copper from their mines
Now, the justice for their crimes
Is, farewell, Johnny Miner
 
CHORUS
 
Ah, cheer up John, don’t act so sad
Unemployment’s not so bad
For what you lost, you never had
So, farewell Johnny Miner
 
CHORUS
 
CHORUS
And farewell Butte, Finn Town, too
Dublin Gulch, the same to you
Walkerville, we’ll bid adieu
And farewell, Johnny Miner
