Two mile under work a 10 foot seam - Oh Keep a Diggin' on Down
Fuel for the fire for another mans dream - Oh Keep a Diggin' on Down
Two mile under it be dark as night - Oh Keep a Diggin' on Down
Gold ring shines for another mans wife
Goin' Deep Deep Down Keep a Diggin' on Down
Shoes to big from the company store - Oh Keep a Diggin' on Down
Food on the table but the man he wants more - Oh Keep a Diggin' on Down
Shoes to big never see the light - Oh Keep a Diggin' on Down
Gold ring shines for another mans wife
Goin' Deep Deep Down Keep a Diggin' on Down
Chorus: Goin' Down Diggin' Down Keep a Diggin' on Down
Goin' Down Diggin' Down Keep a Diggin' on Down
Deep shaft blow leave 100 men dead - Oh Keep a Diggin' on Down
Back to mine to keep another man fed - Oh Keep a Diggin' on Down
Deep shaft blow such a terrible sight - Oh Keep a Diggin' on Down
Gold ring shines for another mans wife
Goin' Deep Deep Down Keep a Diggin' on Down
chorus, bridge, solo
Coal man workin' all the live long day - Oh Keep a Diggin' on Down
Breakin' his back while another man plays - Oh Keep a Diggin' on Down
Coal man workin' to the end of life - Oh Keep a Diggin' on Down
Gold ring shines for another mans wife
Goin' Deep Deep Down Keep a Diggin' on Down
chorus
