Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Workin' in a coal mine
Goin' down, down, down
Workin' in a coal mine
Whoop, about to slip down
Workin' in a coal mine
Goin' down, down, down
Workin' in a coal mine
Whoop, about to slip down
[Verse 2]
Five o'clock in the mornin'
I'm already up and gone
Lord, I'm so tired
How long can this go on?
[Verse 3]
Got that workin' in a coal mine
Goin' down, down, down
Workin' in a coal mine
Whoop, about to slip down
(Workin') In a coal mine
(Goin') Down, down, down
(Workin') In a coal mine
Oops, about to slip down
[Verse 4]
'Cause I make a lil' money
Haulin' coal by the ton
But when Saturday rolls around
I'm too tired for havin' fun (Too tired for havin')
[Verse 5]
I'm just workin' in a coal mine
Goin' down, down, down
Workin' in a coal mine
Whoop, about to slip down
(Workin') In a coal mine
(Goin') Down, down, down
(Workin') In a coal mine
Oops, about to slip down
[Verse 6]
Lord, I'm so tired
How long can this go on?
[Verse 7]
Daddy workin' in a coal mine
Goin' down, down, down
Workin' in a coal mine
Whoop, about to slip down
(Workin') In a coal mine
(Goin') Down, down, down
(Workin') In a coal mine
Oops, about to slip down
[Verse 8]
Five o'clock in the mornin'
I'm already up and gone
Lord, I'm so tired
How long can this go on?
[Verse 9]
Got that workin' in a coal mine
Goin' down, down, down
Workin' in a coal mine
Whoop, about to slip down
(Workin') In a coal mine
(Goin') Down, down, down
(Workin') In a coal mine
Oops, about to slip down
[Verse 10]
'Cause I make a lil' money
Hauling coal by the ton
But when Saturday rolls around
I'm too tired for havin' fun (Too tired for havin')
[Verse 11]
I'm just workin' in a coal mine
Goin' down, down, down
Workin' in a coal mine
Whoop, about to slip down
(Workin') In a coal mine
(Goin') Down, down, down
(Workin') In a coal mine
Oops, about to slip down
[Verse 12]
Lord, I'm so tired
