Tell God and the Devil |
| Seven years a miner, I’ll mine for seven more |
| No better man on earth now to move that mountain floor |
| Go load us in that chippy, that drops down every day |
| No braver man on earth boys no matter what they say |
| So, tell God… |
| Don’t want to see those helmet men come to carry you |
| The ground so cold and hard above they won’t even bury you |
| So tap tap tap’er lightly, as lightly as she goes |
| You better take some cover now and hide before she blows |
| Get those picks and shovels off your backs |
| Get the rocks into the box and down the tracks |
| There’s mucker and there’s skinners and nippers on the drill |
| They’ll work all day and night boys, as only miners will |
| We’ll chase rebellious copper, the walls you pick and hack |
| Don’t worry if you’re diggin' scared, us miners got your back |
| So tell God… |
| God can’t fetch you down here and the Devil’s got your name |
| Your life hangs in the balance on this fragile human chain. |
| Then when your spirit’s waning, the fear is yours to tame |
| And when you feel the darkness, turn up your carbon flame |
| So tell God… |
