lyrics

Up in the morning put on my boots 
Coffee grinds and a side of blues 
I kiss my wife and my baby too I’m off to the mines

Cause I do what my daddy did 
And he did what his daddy did 
And he did what his daddy did In the hard times


So I’m going under the mountain
Lower me down, lower me down
I got a big old hole to dig 
I’ll be back, I don’t know when
It’s going to be a long, long, time
Before I see the sunshine again


I’m all heart and a bag of bones
Chipping rocks and digging stones
I take my rest when I get home and lay by the fire

Cause me and this mountain don’t disagree
I’ll take from her and she’ll take from me
nothing in this life is free except your heart’s desire


So kiss me well and hold the door
You can’t buy time from the company store
There ain’t nothing anymore that I can bid adieu

I’ll dig through these mountain seams
For my dusty, dog eared, attic dreams
Pull them out with machines and bring them back to you
