Working in a coal mine
Going down, down
Working in a coal mine
Whew, about to slip down
Lord, I am so tired
How long can this go on?
Five o'clock in the morning
I'm up before the sun
When my work day is over
I'm too tired for having fun
Working in a coal mine
Going down, down
Working in a coal mine
Whew, about to slip down
Lord, I am so tired
How long can this go on?
Five o'clock in the morning
I'm up before the sun
When my work day is over
I'm too tired for having fun
T'ain't no big thing
To wait for the bell to ring
T'ain't no big thing
The toll of the bell
…I know it's been done
Havin' one
Girl who loved me
Right or wrong
Weak or strong
…Don't know that I will
But until
Love can find me
And the girl who'll stay
And won't play
Games behind me
I'll be what I am
A solitary man
A solitary man
Solitary man
You're gonna take a walk in the rain
And you're gonna get wet
(I predict)…
…They're gonna stop Saturday night
So you better have fun now
(I predict)
They're gonna stop having the sun
So you better get tan now
And this song will fade out
And this song will fade out
And this song will fade out
(I predict)
And if a double-decker bus
Crashes in to us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well the pleasure, the privilege is mine
