| Lyrics: | Only a Miner
The hard-working miners, their dangers are great,
Many while mining have met
their sad fate,
While doing their duties as miners all do
Shut out from the daylight and
their darling ones, too.
cho: He's only a miner been killed in the ground,
Only
a miner, and one more is found;
Killed by an accident, no one can tell
His
mining's all over, poor miner, farewell.
He leaves his dear wide, and little ones,
too
To earn them a living as miners all do.
While he was working for those whome he
loved
He met a sad fate from a boulder above.
cho:
With a heart full of
sorrow we bid him farewell,
How soon we may follow, there's no one can tell.
God pity the
miners, protect them as well
And shield them from danger while down in the
ground.
cho:
