 Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

Working in the coal mine
Going down down down
Working in the coal mine
Whoop about to slip down

Five o'clock in the morning
I'm already up and gone
Lord I'm so tired
How long can this go on

Cause I work every morning
Hauling coal by the ton,
But when saturday rolls around
I'm too tired to have any fun [Repeat: x 2]

Spoken:Lord, I'm so tired. How long can this go on?
