Mining Camp Blues |
Once i had a daddy |
And he worked down in a hole |
Once i had a daddy |
And he worked down in a hole |
Digging and hauling |
Hauling that birmingham coal |
Many times i wondered |
When they took my daddy down |
Many times i wondered |
When they took my daddy down |
Will he come back to me |
Will they leave him in the ground |
Something like the pitcher |
That they sent down in the well |
Something like the pitcher |
That they sent down in the well |
Wondering will they break it |
Lordy lordy who can tell |
It was late one evening |
I was standing at that mine |
It was late one evening |
I was standing at that mine |
Foreman said my daddy |
Had gone down for his last last time |
Now he was a coalminer |
From his hat down to his shoes |
Now he was a coalminer |
From his hat down to his shoes |
And i’m nearly dying |
With these mining camp blues |
