I've been working in these vines for most of my life
Trying to raise two daughters and support a loving wife
But this awful way of living has really got me down
And I've had to face the fact, boys, that I'll never leave this town
Well, my lungs are black as coal and my heart as cold as ice
And I know that working in the mines, you'll pay an awful price
But I'll keep on working here, work my fingers to the bone
And the best that I can hope for is that I won't have to die alone
And these coal mine blues, I just can't lose in my mind
Well, I've had this so long
The mines become my home and my whole life
Oh, oh, oh, God, the coal mine blues
ย
Well, the pay's not that good in the coal-dark, dingy home
You spend all your time just thinking about how you will go
Will the walls cave in around you, or will you just run out of time?
Will disease eat you to the bone down in the coal-dark mine?
Oh, these coal mine blues, I just can't lose in my mind
Well, I've had this so long
The mines become my home and my whole life
Oh, oh, oh, God, the coal mine blues
ย
Oh, these coal mine blues, I just can't lose in my mind
Well, I've had this so long
The mines become my home and my whole life
Oh, oh, oh, God, the coal mine blues
