Nimrod Workman


For forty-two years
Is a mighty long time
I labored and toiled
Down in a coal mine

Down in a deep hole
Where the bright lights did glow
Back in a dark room
A-spadin’ up coal.

My bones they did ache me
My kneecaps got bad
Down on a hard rock
On a set of knee pads

The motors were shifting
I got sand in my hair
Both lungs were broke down
From breathing bad air.
