It's a working man I am
|
And I've been down underground
|
And I swear to God
|
If I ever see the sun
|
|
Oh for any length of time
|
I can hold it in my mind
|
I never again
|
Will go down underground
|
|
At the age of sixteen years
|
Oh he quarrels with his peers
|
He vowed they'd never
|
See another one
|
|
In the dark recess of the mine
|
Where you age before your time
|
And the coal dust lies heavy
|
On your lungs
|
|
It's a working man I am
|
And I've been down underground
|
And I swear to God
|
If I ever see the sun
|
|
Oh for any length of time
|
I can hold it in my mind
|
I never again
|
Will go down underground
|
|
At the age of sixty four
|
He will greet you at the door
|
And he will gently lead you
|
By the arm
|
|
Through the dark recess of the mine
|
He will take you back in time
|
And he'll tell you of
|
The hardships that were had
|
|
It's a working man I am
|
And I've been down underground
|
And I swear to God
|
If I ever see the sun
|
|
Oh for any length of time
|
I can hold it in my mind
|
I never again will go down underground
|
|
I never again will go down underground
|
