Miner

This is a man
The man is a miner
Mining for coal
Deep under the ground
This is a man
The man is a miner
Mining for coal
Deep under the ground
And the coal feeds the furnace
The furnace heats the boiler
The boiler makes steam
The steam drives the piston
The piston drives the pump
The pump pumps out water
So the man can mine coal
Deeper underground
And the coal feeds the furnace
The furnace heats the boiler
The boiler makes steam
The steam drives the piston
The piston drives the pump
The pump pumps out water
So the man can mine coal
Deeper underground
This is a child
The child of the man
The man is a miner
Mining underground
And the child grows up
Follows his father underground
Another life wasted
Slaving underground
And we’re all gonna die of silicosis
We’re all gonna die of silicosis
We’re all gonna die of silicosis
We’re all gonna die of silicosis
This is a man
The man is the owner
The owner of the mine
And he’s doing very, very well
