 We get the rocks  in the box, get the water  right down to your socks
 This bulkheads  built of fallen brethren bones
 We all do  what we can, we endure  our fellow man
 And we sing  our songs to the headframes, creeps and bones
 And it's one,  two, three, of the wrong  side of the lee
 What we meant  for, what we meant  for
 And its seven,  eight, nine, you get your shuffle  back in line
 And if  you ever make it to ten you won't make it again
 And if  you ever make it to ten you won't make it again
 -  -  - ]  x2
 And you won't make it time on this gray ground of mountain mine
 Of dirt your made and of dirt you will return
 So while were living here, let's get this other one thing clear
 There's plenty of men to die, you don't jump your turn
 And it's one, two, three, of the wrong side of the lee
 What we meant for, what we meant for
 And its seven, eight, nine, you get your shuffle back in line
 And if you ever make it to ten you won't make it again
 And if you ever make it to ten you won't make it again
 -  -  - ]  x2, then
   -  -  - ]  x2
 And it's one, two, three, of the wrong side of the lee
 What we meant for, whatever your meant for
 And its seven, eight, nine, you get your shuffle back in line
 And if you ever make it to ten you won't make it again
 And if you ever make it to ten you won't make it again
 And if you ever make it to ten you won't make it again
