Tell God And The Devil
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Seven years a miner, a mine for seven more
No better man on earth now to loose a moutain floor
Do load us in the chippy the trucks down every day
No braver man on earth boys no matter what they say
So tell God and the devil they can try
But today is not gona be the day we die
Don't want to see those helmed man to come to carry you
The ground is so cold and hard above they won't even bury you
So top top topper lightning slightly as it goes
You better take some cover now and hide before she blows
Get those bricks and shovels of your backs
Get the rocks into the box and down the tracks
There's mokkers and there's skinners and nippers on the jill
They work all day and night boys as only miners will
Will chase rebellious copper the walls you pick and hack
Don't worry if your digging scared, us miners get you back
So tell God and the Devil they can try
But today is not gonna be the day we die
The Gods don't verture down here, the Devil lost your name
Your life hangs in the balance on this fragile human chain
And when your spirrits whirling the fear is yours to tame
When you feel the darkness closing turn up your carbit flame
And tell God and the Devil they can try
But today is not gonna be the day we die
So tell God and the Devil they can try
But today is not gonna be the day we die
