Mining Camp Blues Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Once I had a daddy, and he worked down in a hole
Once I had a daddy, and he worked down in a hole
Diggin' and a-haulin', haulin' that Birmingham coal

[Verse 2]
Many times I wondered when they took my daddy down
Many times I wondered when they took my daddy down
Will he come back to me? Will they leave him in the ground?

[Verse 3]
Something like the pitcher that they sent down in the well
Something like the pitcher that they sent down in the well
Wondering will thеy break it, Lordy, Lordy, who can tell?

[Verse 4]
It was late onе evening, I was standing at that mine
It was late one evening, I was standing at that mine
Foreman said my daddy had gone down for his last, last time

[Verse 5]
Now he was a coal miner from his hat down to his shoes
He was a coal miner from his hat down to his shoes
And I'm nearly dying with these mining camp blues
