POOR MINER’S FAREWELL

They leave their dear wives and little ones, too,
To earn them a living as miners all do;
Poor hard-working miners, their troubles are great.
So often while mining they meet their sad fate.

(Ch.)
Only a miner killed under the ground,
Only a miner and one more is found;
Killed by some accident, there's no one can tell
Your mining's all over, poor miner, farewell.

Poor orphaned children, thrown out on the street
Ragged and hungry, with nothing to eat;
Their mothers are jobless and their fathers are dead,
Poor fatherless children, left crying for bread.

When I'm in Kentucky so often I meet
Poor coal miners’ children out on the street;
"How are you doing?" to them I said;
"We’re hungry, Aunt Molly, we're begging for bread."

THE HARD WORKING MINER

The hard working miner, the dangers are great,
So many while mining have met their sad fate.
While doing their duty as all miners do,
Shut off from the daylight and darling ones, too.

He's only a miner been killed in the ground,
Only a miner and one more is gone.
Killed by an accident, there's no one can tell
His mining's all over, poor miner, farewell.

He leaves his dear wife and little ones, too,
To earn them a living as all miners do.
But while he was working for those whom he loves
He met a sad fate from a boulder above.

He's only a miner been killed in the ground,
He's only a miner and one more is gone.
Killed by an accident, there's no one can tell
His mining's all over, poor miner, farewell.

The miner is gone, we'll see him no more,
God be with the miner wherever he goes.
God pity the miner, protect him as well,
Shield him from danger while down in the ground.

He's only a miner been killed in the ground,
Only a miner and one more is gone.
Killed by an accident, there's no one can tell
His mining's all over, poor miner, farewell.
