Miner's Prayer |
When the whistle blows each morning |
And I walk down in that cold, dark mine |
I say a prayer to my dear Savior |
Please, let me see the sunshine one more time |
When oh when will it be over |
When will I lay these burdens down |
And when I die, dear Lord in heaven |
Please, take my soul from 'neath that cold, dark ground |
I still grieve for my poor brother |
And I still hear my dear old mother cry |
When late that night they came and told her |
He’d lost his life down in the Big Shoal Mine |
When oh when will it be over |
When will I lay these burdens down |
And when I die, dear Lord in heaven |
Please, take my soul from 'neath that cold, dark ground |
I have no shame, I feel no sorrow |
If on this earth not much I own |
I have the love of my sweet children |
An old plow mule, a shovel and a hoe |
When oh when will it be over |
When will I lay these burdens down |
And when I die, dear Lord in heaven |
Please, take my soul from 'neath that cold, dark ground |
Yeah, when I die, dear Lord in heaven |
Please, take my soul from 'neath that cold, dark ground |
