silly sisters (maddy prior and jone tabor) - the old miner lyrics

Loading...

oh who’ll replace this old miner
and who will take my place below?
and who will follow the trepanner
oh dear god, when i go?

oh who will wield this heavy pick
that i did wield for forty years
and who will hew the black, black coal
oh dear god, when i go?

oh who will ride the miners’ train
that takes him to the dark coal face
who’ll take my place upon that train
oh dear god, when i go?

oh who will load this great iron top
and who will strain his bending back
and who will work, sweat and ache like h+ll
oh dear god, when i go?

oh who will cry when the roof caves in
when friends are lying all around?
and who will sing the miner’s hymn
oh dear god, when i go?

for forty years i’ve loved the mine
for forty years i’ve worked down there
now who’ll replace this old miner
when i’ve paid god my fare?
