Well i been workin' in a coal mine
Goin' down down
Workin' in a coal mine
Whew about to slip down
Workin' in a coal mine
Goin' down down
Workin' in a coal mine
Whew about to slip down
Five o'clock in the mornin'
I'm up before the sun
When my work day is over
I'm too tired for havin' fun
Well i been workin' in a coal mine
Goin' down down
Workin' in a coal mine
Whew about to slip down
Workin' in a coal mine
Goin' down down
Workin' in a coal mine
Whew about to slip down
Lord i am so tired
How long can this go on?
Well i been workin' in a coal mine
Goin' down down
Workin' in a coal mine
Whew about to slip down
Workin' in a coal mine
Goin' down down
Workin' in a coal mine
Whew about to slip down
Five o'clock in the mornin'
I'm up before the sun
When my work day is over
I'm too tired for havin' fun
Well i been workin' in a coal mine
Goin' down down
Workin' in a coal mine
Whew about to slip down
Workin' in a coal mine
Goin' down down
Workin' in a coal mine
Whew about to slip down
Lord i am so tired
How long can this go on?
I been workin' goin' workin'
Whew about to slip down
Workin' goin' workin'
Whew about to slip down (repeat and fade)
