Working In The Coal Mine - Allen Toussaint

Working In The Coal Mine Lyrics

Workin' in the coal mine
Goin' on down, down
Workin' in a coal mine
Oops, about to slip down
Workin' in a coal mine
Goin' on down, down
Workin' in a coal mine
Oops, about to slip downFive o'clock in the mornin'
I'm already up and gone
Lord, I'm so tired
How long can this go on?Workin' in the coal mine
Goin' on down, down
Workin' in a coal mine
Oops, about to slip down
Workin' in a coal mine
Goin' on down, down
Workin' in a coal mine
Oops, about to slip down'Cause I make a little money

Haulin' coal by the ton
When Saturday rolls around
I'm too tired for havin' funWorkin' in the coal mine
Goin' on down, down
Workin' in a coal mine
Oops, about to slip down
Workin' in a coal mine
Goin' on down, down
Workin' in a coal mine
Oops, about to slip downLord I'm so tired
How long can this go on?Workin' in the coal mine
Goin' on down, down
Workin' in a coal mine
Oops, about to slip down
Workin' in a coal mine
Goin' on down, down
Workin' in a coal mine
Oops, about to slip downFive o'clock in the mornin'
I'm already up and gone
Lord, I'm so tired
How long can this go on?Workin' in the coal mine
Goin' on down, down
Workin' in a coal mine
Oops, about to slip down
Workin' in a coal mine
Goin' on down, down
Workin' in a coal mine
Oops, about to slip down
