Working Man Lyrics

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

At the age of sixteen years
Oh, he quarrels with his peers
Who vowed they?d never see another one
In 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 l ever see the sun
Or for any length of time
I can hold it in my mind
I never again will go down under ground

At the age of sixty four
Oh, he'll greet you at the door
And he'll gently lead you by the arm
Through the dark recess of the minesRita MacNeil - Working Man - http://motolyrics.com/rita-macneil/working-man-lyrics.html
Oh, he'll take you back in time
And he'll tell you of the hardships that were had

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

God, I never again will go down under ground
