Gruvene På 16 - Kaizers Orchestra

Eg er den siste som synger denne viså

For ting har gått over stokk og stein her

Ingen vinker frå sprinklene på Kringsjå

Eller frå gruvene på 16

For ved perrongen der lokomotivet stod

Fins nå ingenting bortsett frå ekkoet av en gjenlagt

Megafon

Som sa;

siste avgang 15:30

Eg er den siste som synger denne viså

Toget har gått for de andre

Det var tungt regn alltid, enten det var sommer eller

Vinter der

Og det står rissa inn i murene på Kringsjå

Det er lovd ut en dusør til den som kan få Henry

Oppi kistå

For nogen blei nettopp stengt inne

Andre har vært der si manns minne

Men Henry hadde en pisk som var så lang

Ei stripa over ryggen, strø litt salt og få respekt

Trudde han

Men alt han ville ha var applaus, applaus

Men ikkje faen om me klapte for han

Aldri om eg klapper for han

Eg er den siste som synger denne viså

Før hu går i glømmeboka

De hørte kviskring om kvelden når det var stille

Men aldri kva som blei sagt der inne

Eg er den einaste frå gruvene på 16

Som kom seg ut av mørket

Eg fekk en pose gull med meg på reisen

Og klokka den var 15:30

Då eg tok siste avgang nogensinne

I'm the last to sing this song

For things have gone over stick and stone here

No waves from the sprinklers on Kringsjå

Or from the mines of 16

For by the platform where the locomotive stood

There is now nothing but the echo of a laid back

Megaphone

That said;

last departure 15:30

I'm the last to sing this song

The train has gone for the others

It was always heavy rain, whether it was summer or

Winter there

And there are cracks in the walls at Kringsjå

A bounty has been promised to anyone who can get Henry

Up the coffin

For someone was just locked inside

Others have been there say their husband's memory

But Henry had a whip that was so long

A strip over the back, sprinkle a little salt and get respect

He thought

But all he wanted was applause, applause

But do not fuck if I clapped for him

Never if I clap for him

I'm the last to sing this song

Before she goes into oblivion

They heard whispers in the evening when it was quiet

But never what was said in there

I'm the only one from the mines at 16

Who got out of the darkness

I got a bag of gold with me on the trip

And it was 3:30 p.m.

When I took the last departure ever
