[00:10.924]He’s a poor man ‘cause mining’s all he’s known
[00:19.747]And miners don’t get rich loadin’ coal.
[00:27.725]He’s a sick man ‘cause that coal dust took its stand
[00:36.281]And he don’t expect to get no help from that operator man.
[00:47.114]Well, it’s goodbye old-timer, I guess our time has come.
[00:57.779]Those waterholes, that dirty coal dust eatin’ up our lungs.
[01:07.852]We’ll leave this world just as poor as the day we saw the sun.
[01:18.692]Well, it’s goodbye, old-timer, all your mining is done.
[01:29.356]I remember the time when I could load more coal than any man.

[02:32.194]We’ll leave this world just as poor as the day we saw the sun.
[02:43.080]Well, it’s goodbye, old-timer, all your mining is done.
[02:53.555]Remember, old timer, when we were little kids
[03:04.675]And we’d talk about mining days when we got grown and big.
[03:15.288]But now we’re old broken men. They don’t need us around
[03:25.687]Though we gave our lives to make them rich, they won’t give us a dime.
[03:36.732]Well, it’s goodbye old-timer, I guess our time has come.
[03:46.880]Those waterholes, that dirty coal dust eatin’ up our lungs.
[03:57.021]We’ll leave this world just as poor as the day we saw the sun.
[04:07.843]Well, it’s goodbye, old-timer, all your mining is done.
