You Took My Sunshine
The other night dear, as I lay sleeping,
I dreamt of clean air and clear skies.
When I awoke, dear, I was mistaken,
And I hung my head and cried.
You took my sunshine, my lovely sunshine,
And now your coal dust fills our skies.
The rain is dirty, the streets are sooty,
And I pray your train tracks rust away.
The trains keep coming, the dust keeps spreading,
And fouls the air throughout our town.
It coats my garden, our water fountain.
Please leave the coal in the ground!
