dwight yoakam - miner's prayer lyrics
(d. yoakam)
miner’s prayer is dedicated to the memory of luther tibbs.
a kentucky coal miner for 40 years, and my grandpa.
when the whistle blows each morning
and i walk down in that cold, dark mine
i say a prayer to my dear savior
please let me see the sunshine one more time
chorus:
when oh when will it be over
when will i lay these burdens down
and when i die, dear lord in heaven
please take my soul from ‘neath that cold dark ground
i still grieve for my poor brother
and i still hear my dear old mother cry
when late that night they came and told her
he’d lost his life down in the big shoal mine
chorus:
when oh when will it be over
when will i lay these burdens down
and when i die, dear lord in heaven
please take my soul from ‘neath that cold dark ground
i have no shame, i feel no sorrow
if on this earth not much i own
i have the love of my sweet children
an old plow mule, a shovel and a hoe
chorus:
when oh when will it be over
when will i lay these burdens down
and when i die, dear lord in heaven
please take my soul from ‘neath that cold dark ground
yeah, when i die, dear lord in heaven
please take my soul from ‘neath that cold dark ground
