Miner's Song from Ditch Flowers by Earthbound

I work my days down in the coal mine
Been there days and days on end
It's been a week since I've seen the sun shine
That sun is my old friend

My hands are stained black now
Been since I was fourteen
I'm just proud to keep my home
Give my family what they need

Digging deeper underground
Puts food on the table
A better life for my kids
So they don't have to live like me

Whoa oh oh oh ohhhh
Whoa oh oh oh ohhhh

Another baby not he way
I'm gonna try and raise my pay
There's little work in this town
I guess the mine is where I'll stay

Digging deeper under ground
Puts food on the table
A better life for my kids
So they don't have to live like me

Birds that sing keep me from going out of my mind
Friends like brothers standing by my side
I'm washed away, I will feel no pain
Like the dust I'll rise and you will hear me sing

Whoa oh oh whoa oh
Whoa oh oh whoa oh

Whoa oh oh whoa oh
Whoa oh oh whoa oh oh oh
