Music by elton john<br>Lyrics by bernie taupin<br>Available on the album sleeping with the past<br><br>I won't see you `till christmas<br>I breathe coal dust, I get blisters<br>But the foreman he don't worry<br>He say work boy there's no hurry<br>Don't that big red sun<br>Look a lot like fire<br>When you come out of the ground<br>After forty eight hours<br><br>Going down down down down down<br>Going down in durban deep<br>Going down down down down down<br>There's no mercy in my sleep<br>I just hear that drill and hammer<br>I feel the killing heat<br>Going two miles down to the heart<br>Of durban deep<br><br>I was born on amen corner<br>I pound rock face, I get lonely<br>But my family they go hungry<br>Sill the boss man he call us lazy<br>Don't the old blue heaven<br>Look a lot like your eyes<br>When you're blinded by the brightness<br>Of the transvaal sky
