From Nanticoke to Carbondale You cannot find a bigger name You can sell your share of daylight For a fair and steady wage Some our rough and some are reckless Some are rude and some are kind But not a man who stands among us Would leave another man in the mine And it's no sir, I don't mind working in the darkness The eyes of a blind man ain't looking for the light And it's no sir, I don't mind working in the darkness As long they will keep me on I'll work the Dryden Mine Well they call me young Blind Bennie And my brother, he is Tom I work the door to let the cars by I can hear them come along There's a doctor in the city Who could make my sight return So me and Tom are holding on To every penny that we earn And it's no sir, I don't mind working in the darkness The eyes of a blind man ain't looking for the light And it's no sir, I don't mind working in the darkness As long they will keep me on I'll work the Dryden Mine Well our father came before us From the country of our birth Come to find a life and prosper Trying to prove to God his worth And it's no sir, I don't mind working in the darkness The eyes of a blind man ain't looking for the light And it's no sir, I don't mind working in the darkness As long they will keep me on I'll work the Dryden Mine
