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
