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)
