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

I been workin' goin' workin'
whew about to slip down
workin' goin' workin'
whew about to slip down (repeat and fade)
