paroles de chanson A Miner's Life - The Country Gentlemen
My
aging
dad
before
me
and
my
brothers
all
in
line,
When
I
turned
17
I
went
down
in
the
mines.
A
battery
lamp
upon
my
head,
steel
toes
upon
my
feet,
And
a
bucket
in
my
hand
with
bread
and
potted
tea.
My
lungs
are
filling
every
day
with
dust
they
call
black
death,
You
think
of
it
don't
say
though
each
time
you
take
a
breath,
You
know
have
to
stay
down
there,
there's
nothing
else
to
do,
When
you
have
no
life
above
the
ground,
what's
a
miner's
son
to
do
Chorus:
When
living
in
West
Virginia,
You
only
get
one
go,
Burrow
in
beneath
the
ground
And
dig
the
old
black
coal
You
work
the
job,
you
eat
the
dust,
you
pay
back
all
your
debts
The
company
store's
bill
caught
up,
I
guess
you
done
your
best
When
the
doctor
calls
he
has
the
news,
your
tests
have
all
come
back
There's
no
more
underground
for
you,
your
lungs
have
both
turned
black
The
years
passed,
the
miner
died,
they
laid
him
in
the
ground
His
son
looked
down
upon
the
grave
in
the
churchyard
of
the
town.
"Dad
I
know
I
promised
you,
those
words
cannot
hold
true,
When
the
whistle
blows
at
5 o'clock,
what's
a
miner's
son
to
do?"
Chorus:
When
living
in
West
Virginia,
You
only
get
one
go,
Burrow
in
beneath
the
ground
And
dig
the
old
black
coal
