Ricky Skaggs
Coal Minin' Man

(Jim Mills)

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.

His lungs are weak. his back is gone
His sixty years are plainly shown
Lived half his life down in the ground
A cold steel hammer rings a mournful sound.

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.

--- Instrumental ---

I'll tell you, son he said to me
There's just two things I pray to see
That the day my Savior calls me home
And to see my son stop minin' coal.

Oh, daddy dear I'll tell you true
There's nothing elsr for me to do
But to make my livin' underneath this land
And live and die a coal minin' man.

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 make my livin' underneath this land
And die like you a coal minin' man...


Mirror lyrics:

And die like you a coal minin' man...
I'll make my livin' underneath this land

That's the way of life for the minin' man.
Where the tunnel's deep, Lord the air gets thin
It don't much matter down in the mine
Daylight or dark, in rain or shine

And live and die a coal minin' man.
But to make my livin' underneath this land
There's nothing elsr for me to do
Oh, daddy dear I'll tell you true

And to see my son stop minin' coal.
That the day my Savior calls me home
There's just two things I pray to see
I'll tell you, son he said to me

--- Instrumental ---

That's the way of life for the minin' man.
Where the tunnel's deep, Lord the air gets thin
It don't much matter down in the mine
Daylight or dark, in rain or shine

A cold steel hammer rings a mournful sound.
Lived half his life down in the ground
His sixty years are plainly shown
His lungs are weak. his back is gone

That's the way of life for the minin' man.
Where the tunnel's deep, Lord the air gets thin
It don't much matter down in the mine
Daylight or dark, in rain or shine

summer's gone

nostalgia

today, tonight

man's final frontier

you can't judge a book

king without a castle

uncovered

terrible tangled web

hooray

can't let go

cariã±o

in person

no better

alle meine entchen

we could

drop a deuce on 'em

tod und teufel

oh babe (what would you say)

baby boum
