Working In A Coal Mine - Lee Dorsey

Working in the coal mine

Going down down down

Working in the coal mine

Whoop I wanna sit down

REPEAT REFRAIN

Five o’clock in the morning

I’m already up and gone

Lord I’m so tired

How long can this go on

REFRAIN sung twice

Cause I work every morning

Hauling coal by the ton,

But when saturday rolls around

I’m too tired to have any fun

REFRAIN sung twice

Spoken: Lord, I’m so tired.

How long can this go on?

(Now the entire song is repeated, fading out on the spoken part)
