lyrics

This land is barren and broken
Scarred like the face of the moon
Our tongue is no longer spoken
The towns all around face ruin
Will there be work in New Brunswick?
Will I find gold in the Cape?
If I tunnel way down to Australia
Oh, will I ever escape?

Where there's a mine or a hole in the ground
That's what I'm heading for that's where I'm bound
So look for me under the lode and 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

The soil was to poor to make Eden
Granite and sea left no choice
Though visions of heaven sustained us
When John Wesley gave us a voice
Did Joseph once come to St Michaels Mount
Two thousand years pass in a dream
When you're working your way in the darkness
Deep in the heart of the seam

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

I dream of a bridge across the Tamar
And it opens us up to the East
In my dreams I see the English they live in our houses
I see the Spanish, fishing in these seas

Where there's a mine or a hole in the ground
That's what I'm heading for that's where I'm bound
So look for me under the lode or inside the vein
Where the copper, the clay, where 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

Track Dogs image

Track Dogs Madrid, Spain

Track Dogs are an acoustic four piece based in Spain but hail from Ireland, the US and UK.

Taking their name from the NY subway maintenance teams this closely-knit group of ex-pats have opted for Cajón instead of drums and trumpet in place of electric guitar. Four-part harmonies steal the show.
