Night Falls

She warned him not to go

He said I've got to go

She whispered I love you so

He said I've got to go


Night falls on the river valley

Night falls on the mines and fields

Night falls on the just and unjust

Night falls


In the next town there's trouble needs straightenin' out

There's dynamite under the porch

Me and my four kids are hungry

A man's yellin' through the screen door


Night falls on the river valley

Night falls on the mines and fields

Night falls on the just and unjust

Night falls


On they came in the morning

Shoulder to shoulder, end to end

You don't have to speak

You just have to stand


Steve Sutton died there on the bridge

Local 393 was born

A black and white picture of the coming of the Lord

The dam is broken, the river come


Night falls on the river valley

Night falls on the mines and fields

Night falls on the just and unjust

Night falls


She warned him not to go

He said I've got to go

She whispered I love you so

Night falls
