Lee Dorsey — Working In A Coal Mine lyrics

Lyrics

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)
