Lee Dorsey – Working In A Coalmine lyrics

REFRAIN

Working in the coal mine
Going down down down
Working in the coal mine
Whoop about to slip 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?
