Working in the coal mine going on down down
Working in a coal mine oops about to slip down
Working in a coal mine going on down down
Working in a coal mine oops about to slip down

Five o'clock in the morning I'm already up and gone
Lord I'm so tired how long can this go on

Working in the coal mine...

Cause I make a little money hauling coal by the tons
When Saturday rolls around I'm too tired for having fun

Working in the coal mine...

Lord I'm so tired how long can this go on

Working in the coal mine...

Five o'clock in the morning I'm already up and gone
Lord I'm so tired how long can this go on

Working in the coal mine...
Working in the coal mine...
