Bob Dylan: "North Country Blues"

1963 Newport Folk Festival

"they complain in the East that they're paying too high
they say that your ore ain't worth digging
it's much cheaper down in the South American towns
where the miners work almost for nothing
so the mining gates locked and the red iron rotted
the room smelled heavy from drinking
and the sad silent song made the hours twice as long
as I waited for the sun to go sinking"
