Celtic Thunder - Working Man lyrics

rate me

It's a working man I am <br />And I've been down underground <br />And I swear to God <br />If I ever see the sun <br /> <br />Oh for any length of time <br />I can hold it in my mind <br />I never again <br />Will go down underground <br /> <br />At the age of sixteen years <br />Oh he quarrels with his peers <br />He vowed they'd never <br />See another one <br /> <br />In the dark recess of the mine <br />Where you age before your time <br />And the coal dust lies heavy <br />On your lungs <br /> <br />It's a working man I am <br />And I've been down underground <br />And I swear to God <br />If I ever see the sun <br /> <br />Oh for any length of time <br />I can hold it in my mind <br />I never again <br />Will go down underground <br /> <br />At the age of sixty four <br />He will greet you at the door <br />And he will gently lead you <br />By the arm <br /> <br />Through the dark recess of the mine <br />He will take you back in time <br />And he'll tell you of <br />The hardships that were had <br /> <br />It's a working man I am <br />And I've been down underground <br />And I swear to God <br />If I ever see the sun <br /> <br />Oh for any length of time <br />I can hold it in my mind <br />I never again will go down underground <br /> <br />I never again will go down underground<br /><br />
