Слова песни Kruger Brothers — Down In The Coal Mine

Down in the coal mine down below
Covered in coal dust from head to toe
Working the shift both night and day
Come Friday night I’m gonna get my pay
Come Friday night I’m gonna get my pay

Some might say this job’s no good
But it pays my bills like I think it should
The grime and dirt don’t matter to me
My life is hard and nothing is free
My life is hard and nothing is free

I was born in Tennessee
We lost our farm back in ’83
One year later we dug Daddy’s grave
I kept to the shovel and became a slave
I kept to the shovel and became a slave

The sun goes up and the sun goes down
It’s a different life here in a miner’s town
There ain’t nobody here to care for me
And if you got a solution won’t you share it with me
And if you got a solution won’t you tell it to me

So I forget about my trouble, forget about my pain
Living day to day’s about all I can sustain
There ain’t enough booze in the state of Tennessee
To help me to forget all the trouble that I see

I know someday they will close this mine
I sure hope they will take their time
The digging is all that’s left for me
I buried my dreams in Tennessee
My homestead back in Tennessee
My homestead back in Tennessee
Those childhood days in Tennessee
