Lyrics

Well, I've been workin' in a coal mine
Goin' down, down
Workin' in a coal mine. Whew!
About to slip down
Workin' in a coal mine
Goin' down, down
Workin' in a coal mine. Whew!
About to slip down
Five o'clock in the mornin'
I'm up there b'fore the sun
When my work day is over
I'm too tired for havin' fun (Well, I'm so tired)
(I've been) Workin' in a coal mine
Goin' down, down
Workin' in a coal mine. Whew!
About to slip down
Workin' in a coal mine
Goin' down, down
Workin' in a coal mine. Whew!
About to slip down
Lord, I am so tired
How long can this go on?
Well, I've been workin' in a coal mine
Goin' down, down
Workin' in a coal mine. Whew!
About to slip down
Workin' in a coal mine
Goin' down, down
Workin' in a coal mine. Whew!
About to slip down
Five o'clock in the mornin'
I'm up there b'fore the sun
When my work day is over
I'm too tired for havin' fun (Well, I'm so tired)
(I've been) Workin' in a coal mine
Goin' down, down
Workin' in a coal mine. Whew!
About to slip down
Workin' in a coal mine
Goin' down, down
Workin' in a coal mine. Whew!
About to slip down
Lord...
I am so tired
How long can this go on?
Well, I've been workin'
Goin'
Workin'
Whew! About to slip down
Workin'
Goin'
Workin'
Whew! About to slip down
Now, or you better drop that load there boy
You always pickin' on me now- boss
