Last Day In The Mines |
| For as long as I can remember I’ve worked down in this pit |
| But today it’s all over for this is the day I quit |
| I’m gonna take my sweet little Ginny and make her my own |
| We gonna move down in the valley and built ourselves a home |
| This is the last day in the mines |
| Well I swing that pick move that shovel and time goes so slow |
| I can hardly wait for my boss to tell me that it’s time to go |
| Up at the top I know my Ginny is waiting patiently |
| In just a few minutes I’ll be there with her and from the mines be free |
| This is the last day in the mines |
| But wait a minute what’s that rumble way back in the ground |
| Good Lord it’s a cave in and the rocks are a fallin' all around |
| Now the timbers are breakin' and the rats are runnin' and I can hardly see |
| Inside my chest there’s a mighty burnin' and my strenght is leavin' me |
| This is the last day in the mines |
| Beneath these rocks and timbers and with my strenght all gone |
| My thoughts turn to Ginny I must leave her all alone |
| I know they’ll try to save me but they gonna be too late |
| For over that river through that valley I see heaven’s gates |
| This is the last day in the mines |
| Oh this is the last day in the mines this is the last day in the mines |
