Don McLean - Dust For Blood Lyrics

Don McLean Lyrics

"Dust For Blood"

Work my hands in the soil
What's the pay for all the toil?

Dust for blood
Dust for blood
Dust for blood

Throw the grapes, pick the trees
Build the bridges on the seas
Harvest cotton on my knees

Dust for blood
Dust for blood
Dust for blood

Dig the diamonds, dig the coal
Broken windows, broken souls
Bitter tears and bitter cold
Before my years I'm growin' old
Hammer steel, hammer ring
Cut the timber, buzzsaw sings
Build the highway for the king
But all I get's the same old thing

Dust for blood
Dust for blood
Dust for blood

Workin' man toil in vain
What's the pay for all the pain?

Dust for blood
Dust for blood
Dust for blood

The dust will swirl, the dust will blow
Dust is all I'll ever know
My body to the dust will go

Dust for blood
Dust for blood
Dust for blood
