For 13 years I've been diggin' my grave Break my back to make Five dollars a day From dawn to dusk All I do is shovel coal Working to pay back credit To the company store Seen a lot of men die Get buried in this mine When caves started shaking And rocks started flying Now all I hear Are the miners' screams I always knew this mountain Would fall down on me It's getting cold, now I cannot see The air is thinning I'm getting weak What do you do when you know it's your turn When you leave for work And never return Ten years ago I married my LuAnn Get her off this mountain Was always my plan Now three kids later I'm buried down below Without my scrips they'll be Evicted from our home So, precious Lord Please hear me from this hole Take care of my family Don't let my sons dig for coal It's getting cold, now I cannot see The air is thinning I'm getting weak What do you do when you know it's your turn When you leave for work And never return What do you do when you know it's your turn When you leave for work And never return
