[Instrumental]
[Verse 1]
I remember the ways in the bygone days
When we were in our prime
How us and John L. give the old man hell
Down in the Blue Diamond Mine
[Verse 2]
Well the whistle blowed and the rooster crowed
Two hours before daylight
When a man done his best and he earned his good rest
Made seventeen dollars a night
[Chorus]
In the mines, in the mines
In the Blue Diamond Mines
I worked my life away
In the mines, in the mines
In the Blue Diamond Mines
Oh fall on your knees and pray
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
You old black gold, you've taken my lungs
And your dust has darkened my home
And now that we're old, you're turning your back
Where else can an old miner go?
[Verse 1]
I remember the ways in the bygone days
When we were in our prime
How us and John L. give the old man hell
Down in the Blue Diamond Mine
[Verse 2]
Well the whistle blowed and the rooster crowed
Two hours before daylight
When a man done his best and he earned his good rest
Made seventeen dollars a night
[Chorus]
In the mines, in the mines
In the Blue Diamond Mines
I worked my life away
In the mines, in the mines
In the Blue Diamond Mines
Oh fall on your knees and pray
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
You old black gold, you've taken my lungs
And your dust has darkened my home
And now that we're old, you're turning your back
Where else can an old miner go?
