Working Man Songtext
von David Alexander

It′s a working man l am
And I've been down under ground
And I swear to God if ever see the sun
Oh, for any length of time
I can hold it in my mind
I never again will go down under ground

At the age of 16 years
With my father close to tears
As he vowed never again to send his sons
To the dark recess of the mines
Where you age before your time
And the coal dust lies heavy on your lungs


It′s a working man l am
And I've been down under ground
And I swear to God if I ever see the sun
Oh, for any length of time
I can hold it in my mind
I never again will go down under ground

At the age of 65
I pray to God I'm still alive
And the wheels above the mines no longer whine
And they finally closed the hole
Where for ages we clawed for coal
And never again will we go down under ground

It′s a working man l am
And I′ve been down under the ground
And I swear to God if I ever see the sun
Oh, for any length of time
I can hold it in my mind
I never again will go down under ground


It's a working man l am
And I′ve been down under ground
And I swear to God if I ever see the sun
Oh, for any length of time
I can hold it in my mind
I never again will go down under ground
