Bilingual
I spend all my days
Going down to the mines
ย
Under the ground
Where the sun never shines
Breaking my back
I put heat in your house
ย
I've got the roar of a lion
The breath of a mouse
ย
Black on my hands
Black on my shoes
ย
Black on my heart
From these coal mining blues
ย
Black on my hands
Black on my shoes
ย
Ashes to dust
With these coal mining blues
ย
The man in the mirror
Looks nothing like me
He's just a weary reminder
Of what I used to be
ย
The sunken red eyes
And the lines in my face
ย
A tired old man
Has taken my place
ย
Black on my hands
Black on my shoes
ย
Black on my heart
From these coal mining blues
ย
Black on my hands
Black on my shoes
ย
Ashes to dust
With these coal mining blues
ย
I can't fall asleep
For the dreams that may come
Of when the walls cave in
And coal fills my lungs
ย
If life is a blessing
Then please let it be
ย
That someday god's light
With give these pour souls relief
ย
