lyrics

Those jobs came around, when the money here was thin
This used to be a boomtown now the ground is falling in
Half the place is undermined, someone robbed us blind
The ghosts still roam the catacombs, going nowhere bound
And over there in Rabbittown the blacklung took 'em down Down into the mines, long before their time

I don't know how they found me, it's no use to call the Mounties
4:30 in the morning and I'm stumbling through this fog
As the ghosts of the County follow me home
The ghosts of the County follow me home

Buried in the darkness with the stories never told
They rise up from their graves and they make it to the road I know they're getting near with all the whispers I can hear
In the early morning hours, when the town is still asleep
As the dawn begins to rise, with their shadows over me
They get closer than they've been then I catch a second wind
I don't know how they found me, it's no use to call the Mounties
4:30 in the morning and I'm stumbling through this fog
As the ghosts of the County follow me home
The ghosts of the County follow me home

They don't get tired of chasing me, they find me every night I run down to the riverside where everything's alright
Maybe if I sing a song, maybe if I write them one They'll leave me alone for awhile

I don't know how they found me, it's no use to call the Mounties
4:30 in the morning and I'm stumbling through this fog
The ghosts of the County follow me home The ghosts of the County follow me home

The ghosts of the County follow me home
The ghosts of the County follow me home
