Give me a moment of your precious time I'll tell you a story of life down in the mine We work hard, no walk in the park Dark to dark, the coal leaves its mark I can't remember last I'd seen the light Must have been the day that I'd lost my life On that day my man dropped that jack Was the day I never came back Dropped that jack right up on my head Next thing you know, there I lay dead On the day that I lost my life Was the day I finally saw the light Saw that light, saw that light On the day that I lost my life Saw that light, saw that light On the day that I lost my life Saw that light, saw that light On the day that I lost my life Saw that light, saw that light On the day that I lost my life
