Lyrics

[00:08.78] It's a working man I am
[00:13.09] And I've been down underground
[00:16.47]
[00:17.53] And I swear to God
[00:19.33] If I ever see the sun
[00:23.15]
[00:26.15] Oh for any length of time
[00:29.40]
[00:30.46] I can hold it in my mind
[00:33.77]
[00:35.40] I never again
[00:37.09] Will go down underground
[00:41.15]
[00:43.65] At the age of sixteen years
[00:46.96]
[00:47.97] Oh he quarrels with his peers
[00:51.27]
[00:52.78] He vowed they'd never
[00:54.59] See another one
[00:57.84]
[01:00.85] In the dark recess of the mine
[01:04.48]
[01:05.55] Where you age before your time
[01:08.65]
[01:09.85] And the coal dust lies heavy
[01:13.10] On your lungs
[01:15.97]
[01:18.59] It's a working man I am
[01:21.85]
[01:22.85] And I've been down underground
[01:26.11]
[01:27.24] And I swear to God
[01:29.17] If I ever see the sun
[01:33.11]
[01:35.99] Oh for any length of time
[01:39.17]
[01:40.24] I can hold it in my mind
[01:43.64]
[01:45.26] I never again
[01:46.63] Will go down underground
[01:51.13]
[01:53.39] At the age of sixty four
[01:56.58]
[01:57.76] He will greet you at the door
[02:01.07]
[02:02.46] And he will gently lead you
[02:06.12] By the arm
[02:08.00]
[02:10.57] Through the dark recess of the mine
[02:14.32]
[02:15.31] He will take you back in time
[02:18.75]
[02:19.56] And he'll tell you of
[02:21.88] The hardships that were had
[02:25.88]
[02:28.31] It's a working man I am
[02:31.44]
[02:32.50] And I've been down underground
[02:35.94]
[02:36.94] And I swear to God
[02:38.94] If I ever see the sun
[02:42.87]
[02:45.69] Oh for any length of time
[02:49.04]
[02:50.04] I can hold it in my mind
[02:53.38]
[02:54.82] I never again will go down underground
[03:00.89]
[03:03.32] I never again will go down underground
