Lyrics Last Day in the Mines - Dave Dudley
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
[ Guitar
]
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
[ Guitar
]
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
[ Guitar
]
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
