I'm going down in the mine one more time

I'm gonna load that old car one more time

Hang on that check of mine one more time

I'm going down in the mine, load that car one more time

I'm going down in the mine one more time



We been watching those trains come in the hollow

They been bringing in all those big machines

That was specially built to fit our seam

Yeah, they're bringing in machines to dig faster than me

So I'm going down in the mines one more time



My doctor he says it's about time

These old lungs they don't belong in a mine

But him and my boss says it's alright just one more time

So I'm going down in the mine, load that car one more time

I'm going down in the mine one more time



I don't know what I'm gonna do when it's all gone

I don't know how I'll ever make it on my own

This old mine it has become my second home

But I'm going down in the mine, load that car one more time

I'm going down in the mine one more time

I'm gonna load that old car one more time

I'm going down in the mine one more time
