Silver Vein Blues
A bluesy Americana song by The Mountain Ramblers, digging into Colorado's mining history.
Silver vein blues, in the mine so cold
Bold
Strings twang for the pickaxe's ring
Sing
Chorus
Silver vein blues, sing the miner's cry
Sky
Americana hearts ache for the silver's gleam
Dream
Flames of lantern, light the tunnel deep
Keep
In the blues, find the soul's hard toil
Soil
Chorus
Silver vein blues, sing the miner's cry
Sky
Americana hearts ache for the silver's gleam
Dream
Bridge
When the vein runs dry, the miner moves on
Dawn
Silver vein blues, in the morning gone
Outro
Silver vein blues, eternal dig
