It don't much matter down in the mine
Daylight or dark, in rain or shine
Where the tunnel's deep, Lord the air gets thin
That's the way of life for the minin' man.
His lungs are weak. his back is gone Lived half his life down in the ground
A cold steel hammer rings a mournful sound.
His sixty years are plainly shown Daylight or dark, in rain or shine
It don't much matter down in the mine
Where the tunnel's deep, Lord the air gets thin
That's the way of life for the minin' man. I'll tell you, son he said to me
That the day my Savior calls me home
And to see my son stop minin' coal.
There's just two things I pray to see Oh, daddy dear I'll tell you true
And live and die a coal minin' man.
But to make my livin' underneath this land
Daylight or dark, in rain or shine
There's nothing elsr for me to do It don't much matter down in the mine
Where the tunnel's deep, Lord the air gets thin
That's the way of life for the minin' man. I'll make my livin' underneath this land
And die like you a coal minin' man.
