THE MINERS
(March 2006 ? J.B.Michaels?/all rights reserved)
INTRO
1ST VERSE
DEEP IN THE GROUND, THEY GO EVERY DAY
TO A DARK DAMP HELL, WHERE NO MAN WANTS TO STAY
THEY GO AS A TEAM, FATHER, BROTHER AND SONS
TEN HOURS THEY WORK, NEVER SEEING THE SUN
2ND VERSE
IF THE EARTH STARTS TO RUMBLE, EACH MAN SAYS A PRAYER
THE WORK SEEMS TO STOP, THEY LOOK AND JUST STARE
WHEN THE DAYS FINALLY OVER, TO THE TOP THEY WILL GO
WITH THANKS IN THEIR HEARTS, KNOWING DEATH COULD HAVE SHOWED

CHORUS:
IT?S THE MINERS THAT GO, DEEP IN THE GROUND
IT?S THE MINERS THAT SCREAM WHEN THE SMOKE BELLOWS DOWN
IT?S THE MINERS THAT LOVE THE HEAVENLY SKY
WHEN A MINER DIES, IT?S THE WHOLE TOWN THAT CRIES
TURNAROUND:
BRIDGE:
IT?S A LIFE AND A WAY, MOST WOULD NOT UNDERSTAND
A FAMILY TRADITION, SOME GO HAND IN HAND

CHORUS:
IT?S THE MINERS THAT GO, DEEP IN THE GROUND
IT?S THE MINERS THAT SCREAM WHEN THE SMOKE BELLOWS DOWN
IT?S THE MINERS THAT LOVE THE HEAVENLY SKY
WHEN A MINER DIES, IT?S THE WHOLE TOWN THAT CRIES
TAG:
WHEN A MINER DIES, IT?S THE WHOLE TOWN THAT CRIES
