dave dudley - last day in the mines lyrics
for as long as i can remember i’ve worked down in this pit
but today it’s all over for this is the day i quit
i’m gonna take my sweet little ginny and make her my own
we gonna move down in the valley and built ourselves a home
this is the last day in the mines
[ guitar ]
well i swing that pick move that shovel and time goes so slow
i can hardly wait for my boss to tell me that it’s time to go
up at the top i know my ginny is waiting patiently
in just a few minutes i’ll be there with her and from the mines be free
this is the last day in the mines
[ guitar ]
but wait a minute what’s that rumble way back in the ground
good lord it’s a cave in and the rocks are a fallin’ all around
now the timbers are breakin’ and the rats are runnin’ and i can hardly see
inside my chest there’s a mighty burnin’ and my strenght is leavin’ me
this is the last day in the mines
[ guitar ]
beneath these rocks and timbers and with my strenght all gone
my thoughts turn to ginny i must leave her all alone
i know they’ll try to save me but they gonna be too late
for over that river through that valley i see heaven’s gates
this is the last day in the mines
oh this is the last day in the mines this is the last day in the mines
