It's a workin' man I am, and I've been down underground
I swear to God if I ever see the sun
Over any length of time, I can hold it in my mind
I never again will go down underground
At the age of 16 years, he quarreled with his peers
Who vowed there'd never be another one
In the dark recess of the mines, 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
Over any length of time, I can hold it in my mind
I never again will go down underground
At the age of 64, he will greet you at the door
And he will gently take you by the arm
Through the dark recess of the mine, he will take you back in time
And 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
Over any length of time, I can hold it in my mind
I never again will go down underground
It's a working man I am, and I've been down underground
And I swear to God if I ever see the sun
Over any length of time, I can hold it in my mind
I never again will go down underground
It's a working man I am, and I've been down underground
And I swear to God if I ever see the sun
Over any length of time, I can hold it in my mind
I never again will go down underground
