Lyrics:

WORKING IN THE COAL MINE
Lee Dorsey


REFRAIN

Working in the coal mine
Going down down down
Working in the coal mine
Whoop I wanna sit down

REPEAT REFRAIN

Five o'clock in the morning
I'm already up and gone
Lord I'm so tired
How long can this go on

REFRAIN sung twice

Cause I work every morning
Hauling coal by the ton,
But when saturday rolls around
I'm too tired to have any fun

REFRAIN sung twice

Spoken:Lord, I'm so tired. How long can this go on?

(Now the entire song is repeated, fading out on the spoken part)
