Cold dark and dusty
My fingers black and crusty
My soul is broke
My back is bent
I swear this work will never end
Buy my lovely lady is waiting by the telephone
Can't come home
Gotta go cause baby
There's a fire in the hole
The fire's gettin' hotter
Oh Lord I need some water
I lost my mind
I lost my men
I swear my work will never end
Buy my lovely lady is waiting by the telephone
Can't come home
I Gotta go cause baby
There's a fire in the hole
Coals burnin' red hot
I'm slavin' for a new boss
I take my ax
Go through the wall
Party swingin' devil's ball
I call my baby's waitin'
Wailin' by the telephone
She grabs her hat
Grabs her clothes
Cause baby there's a fire in the hole
Cause baby there's a fire in the hole
