It's a / Workin' Man I / am, and
I've / been down under - / ground, and
I / swear to God,
If I / ever see the / sun, /
Or for / any length of / time,
I can / hold it in my / mind,
I / never again will / go down under - / ground. /
At the / age of sixteen / years,
Oh he / quarrels with his / peers,
Who / vowed they'd never / see another / one, /
In the / dark recess of the / mine,
Where you / age before your / time, and
The / coal dust lies / heavy on your / lungs. /
At the / age of sixty- / four,
Old will / greet you at the / door, and
He'll / gently lead you by the / arm, /
Through the / dark recess of the / mine,
Old will / take you back in / time, and
He'll / tell you of the / hardships that were / had. /
@ 4 then repeat the last line.
