Durban Deep Elton John

[Verse 1]
I won't see you until Christmas
I breathe coal dust, I get blisters
But the foreman he don't worry
He say work, boy, there's no hurry
Don't that big red sun
Look a lot like fire
When you come out of the ground
After 48 hours

[Refrain]
Going down down down down down
Going down in Durban deep
Going down down down down down
There's no mercy in my sleep

I just hear that drill and hammer
I feel the killing heat
Going two miles down to the heart
Of Durban deep

[Verse 2]
I was born on amen corner
I pound rock face, I get lonely
But my family, they go hungry
Sill the boss man he call us lazy
Don't the old blue heaven
Look a lot like your eyes
When you're blinded by the brightness
Of the Transvaal sky
