Working in the Coal Mine

Workin' in a coal mine

Goin' down, down, down

Workin' in a coal mine

Whop, about to slip down

Workin' in a coal mine

Goin' down, down, down

Workin' in a coal mine

Whop, about to slip down

Five o'clock in the mornin'

I'm all ready up and gone

Lord, I am so tired

How long can this go on

I'm workin' in a coal mine

Goin' down, down, down

Workin' in a coal mine

Whop, about to slip down

Workin' in a coal mine

Goin' down, down, down

Workin' in a coal mine

Whop, about to slip down

Cos I'm on call in the mornin'

Oh, I go by the coal

But when Saturday goes around

I'm too tired for havin' fun 

(Too tired for having fun)

I been workin'in a coal mine

Goin' down, down, down

Workin' in a coal mine

Whop, about to slip down

Workin' in a coal mine

Goin' down, down, down

Workin' in a coal mine

Whop, about to slip down

Lord, I am so tired

How long can this go on

I'm workin' in a coal mine

Goin' down, down, down

Workin' in a coal mine

Whop, about to slip down

Workin' in a coal mine

Goin' down, down, down

Workin' in a coal mine

Whop, about to slip down

Five o'clock in the mornin'

I'm all ready up and gone

Lord, I am so tired

How long can this go on

I'm workin' in a coal mine

Goin' down, down, down

Workin' in a coal mine

Whop, about to slip down

Workin' in a coal mine

Goin' down, down, down

Workin' in a coal mine

Whop, about to slip down

Cos I'm on call in the mornin'

Oh, I go by the coal

But when Saturday goes around

I'm too tired for havin' fun 

(Too tired for having fun)

I been workin'in a coal mine

Goin' down, down, down

Workin' in a coal mine

Whop, about to slip down

Workin' in a coal mine

Goin' down, down, down

Workin' in a coal mine

Whop, about to slip down
