Well I been working in a coal mine

Going down down

Working in a coal mine

Whew about to slip down

Working in a coal mine

Going down down

Working in a coal mine

Whew about to slip down

Five oclock in the morning

I'm up before the sun

When my work day is over

I'm too tired for having fun

I'm tired working in a coal mine

Going down down

Working in a coal mine

Whew about to slip down

Working in a coal mine

Going down down

Working in a coal mine

Whew about to slip down

Lord I am so tired

How long can this go on

Well I been working in a coal mine

Going down down

Working in a coal mine

Whew about to slip down

Working in a coal mine

Going down down

Working in a coal mine

Whew about to slip down

Five oclock in the morning

I'm up before the sun

When the work day is over

I'm too tired for having fun

What I tired been working in a coal mine

Going down down

Working in a coal mine

Whew about to slip down

Working in a coal mine

Going down down

Working in a coal mine

Whew about to slip down

Lord I am so tired

How long can this go on

We like working going

Working about to slip down

Working going

Working about to slip down
