Lyrics
Ridin' two blind horses
As they carry me to hell
There's a burnin' in my eyes and brimstone's
All that I can smell
I felt the mountain crumble
As the walls began to fall
I came to make a living
But now I'm underneath it all
I can hear angels calling
But it feels like the devil has my hand
And come tomorrow, I'll be right here in this place
Without a sound
Where no light shines
Way down in the mine
Like others done before me
I left my home in Tenessee
To work a Kentucky coal mine
In 1923
The ten of us were one mile deep
When the beams began to crack
We all went down in a coal mine
Though we never made it back
I can hear angels calling
But it feels like the devil has my hand
And come tomorrow, I'll be right here in this place
Without a sound
Where no light shines
Way down in the mine
Well don't you cry now darlin'
Everything's gonna be alright
There's angels here to take me now
I know one day we'll meet on high
'Cause I see the light
Way down in the mine
