I remember the ways in the bygone days when we were in our prime How us and John L. give the old man hell down in the Blue Diamond Mine Well the whistle blows and the rooster crows full two hours before daylight When a man's done his best and he earned his good rest at seven dollars a night (Chorus) In the mines, in the mines in the Blue Diamond Mines I worked my life away In the mines, in the mines In the Blue Diamond Mines Oh, fall on your knees and pray. (end chorus) You old black gold, you've taken my lung and your dust has darkened my home And now that we're old, you're turnin' your back where else can an old miner go? Well it's Algomer Block and it's Big Leather Woods now its Blue Diamond too Well, the pits are all closed and it's,"get another job" what else can an old miner do? (chorus) John L. had a dream But it's broken, it seems Mining has had it's day But they're stripping off my mountain top and they pay me eight dollars a day You might get a little poke of welfare meal a little poke of welfare flour But I tell you right now you won't qualify 'till you work for a quarter an hour. (chorus) |
