The Miner’s Blues

Ain't a-gonna work on no tipple, ain't gonna lay no track
Ain't a-gonna work on no tipple, ain't gonna lay no track
Gonna lay around my shanty, do the ball and jack

Daddy, daddy, what are you going to do
Daddy, daddy, what are you goin' to do
When sweet mama leaves you with those worried miner blues?

Trouble and blues, I've had 'em all my days
Trouble and blues, I've had 'em all my days
I b'lieve that trouble and blues gonna lead me to my grave

If you don't believe I'm sinking, look what a hole I'm in
If you don't believe I'm sinking, look what a hole I'm in
If you don't believe I love you, look what a fool I've been
