The Mine©

Dan Pavlides

 

I won’t go down in the devil’s hole

Down in the jaws of the mine

Because there ain’t no trees,

No bright sunshine

Down in the jaws of the mine

 

The way I see it goes

The earth is gonna get me back anyway

So why not add on a few more days?

We can go outside, join the hit parade

I won’t go down in the mine

 

My daddy he tried it

He got so old

I hear that they even try to buy your soul

No I won’t go down in the Devil’s hole

Down in the jaws of the mine

 

The way I see it goes

The earths gonna get me back anyway

And they’ll mine my bones for a dollar’s pay

They can go outside and see the light of day

Oh I won’t go down in the mine
