unspoken tradition - mine shaft blues lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
well i’m headed down that mineshaft with a hammer in my hand
i don’t know how long it’ll be ‘fore i see light again
‘fore i see light again
i got coal dust on my face, lord, and it’s fillin’ up my chest
for a man who works the coal mines, there ain’t a minute’s rest
there ain’t a minute’s rest

[chorus]
it’s a dangerous job down in that hole
and every day, the lord decides if you can keep your soul
you dig and you dig and [?] knows your name
and every single day is just the same
and every single day is just the same

[verse 2]
we’re good ol’ west virginia boys and rise up with the sun
and our hammers don’t stop swingin’ til the workin’ day is done
the workin’ day is done
and when i die, won’t you bury me with a hammer in my hand
so my ghost can keep on turnin’ the coal out of this land?
get the coal out of this land

[chorus]
it’s a dangerous job down in that hole
and every day, the lord decides if you can keep your soul
you dig and you dig and [?] knows your name
and every single day is just the same
and every single day is just the same
[chorus]
it’s a dangerous job down in that hole
and every day, the lord decides if you can keep your soul
you dig and you dig and [?] knows your name
and every single day is just the same
and every single day is just the same

[outro]
and every single day is just the same
every single day is just the same
