Lyrics Three Miles Down (Live 1983) - Gil Scott-Heron
One,
two
One,
two,
three,
four
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo,
doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo,
doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo,
doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
One
more
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo,
doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Here
come
the
mine
cars
and
it's
damn
near
dawn
Another
shift
of
men,
some
of
'em
my
friends,
comin'
on
Hard
to
imagine
workin'
in
the
mines
Got
coal
dust
in
your
lungs,
on
your
skin
and
on
your
mind
Yes,
well,
I've
listened
to
the
speeches
And
it
occurred
to
me,
politicians
don't
understand
Thoughts
of
isolation,
ain't
no
sunshine
in
the
ground
It's
just
like
workin'
in
a
graveyard
three
miles
down
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo,
doo-doo-doo-doo-doo,
hold
on
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo,
doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
yeah
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo,
doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo,
doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Damn
near
a
legend
as
old
as
the
mines
Things
that'll
happen
in
the
pits
just
don't
change
with
times
Work
'til
you're
exhausted
in
too
little
space
A
history
of
disastrous
fears
etched
on
your
face
Somebody
signs
a
paper,
everybody
thinks
it's
fine
But
Taft
and
Hartley
ain't
done
one
day
in
the
mines
Said
you
start
to
stiffen
up,
heard
a
crackin'
sound
Just
like
workin'
in
a
graveyard
three
miles
down
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo,
doo-doo-doo-doo-doo,
hold
on
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo,
doo-doo-doo-doo-doo,
sing
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo,
doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo,
doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Here
come
the
mine
cars
and
it's
damn
near
dawn
Another
shift
of
men,
some
of
'em
my
friends,
comin'
on
Hard
to
imagine
workin'
in
the
mines
Got
coal
dust
in
your
lungs,
on
your
skin
and
on
your
mind
Yes,
well,
I've
listened
to
the
speeches
And

Thoughts
of

ain't

in
the
ground
It's
just
like
workin'
in
a
graveyard
three
miles
down
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo,
doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
sing
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo,
doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo,
doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
new
song
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo,
doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
new
song
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo,
doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo,
doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo,
doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo,
doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
