It's a workin' man I am And I've been down underground And I swear to God, if I ever see the sun Or 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 Who 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 workin' man I am And I've been down underground And I swear to God, if I ever see the sun Or 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 workin' man I am And I've been down underground And I swear to God, if I ever see the sun Or for any length of time I can hold it in my mind And never again will go down underground God, I never again will go down underground |
