Lee Dorsey – Working In The Coal Mine lyrics
(Workin' in a coal mine, goin' down, down, down)
(Workin' in a coal mine, whoops, about to slip down)
(Workin' in a coal mine, goin' down, down, down)
(Workin' in a coal mine, whoops, about to slip down)

Five o'clock in the mornin'
I'm already up and gone
Lord, I’m so tired
How long can this go on?

(That I'm workin' in a coal mine, goin' down, down, down)
(Workin' in a coal mine, whoops, about to slip down)
Working (in a coal mine), going (down, down, down)
Working (in a coal mine, whoops, about to slip down)

Cause, I make a little money
Hauling coal by the ton
But, when Saturday goes around
I'm too tired for having fun (Too tired for having...)

(I'm just workin' in a coal mine, goin' down, down, down)
(Workin' in a coal mine, whoops, about to slip down)
Working (in a coal mine), going (down, down, down)
Working (in a coal mine, whoops, about to slip down)

Lord, I am so tired,
How long can this go on?

(That I workin' in a coal mine, goin' down, down, down)
(Workin' in a coal mine, whoops, about to slip down)
Working (in a coal mine), going (down, down, down)
Working (in a coal mine, whoops, about to slip down)

Five o'clock in the mornin'
I'm already up and gone
Lord, I’m so tired
How long can this go on?

(That I work in a coal mine, goin' down, down, down)
(Workin' in a coal mine, whoops, about to slip down)
Working (in a coal mine), going (down, down, down)
Working (in a coal mine, whoops, about to slip down)

Cause, I make a little money
Hauling coal by the ton
But when Saturday goes around
I'm too tired for having fun (Too tired for having...)

(I'm just workin' in a coal mine, goin' down, down, down)
(Workin' in a coal mine, whoops, about to slip down)
Working (in a coal mine), going (down, down, down)
Working (in a coal mine, whoops, about to slip down)

Lord, I am so tired
