Lyrics of Durban Deep by Elton John

verse

I won't see you 'til Christmas
I breathe coal dust, I get blisters
But the foreman, he don't worry
He said, "Work boy, there's no hurry"

pre-chorus

Don't that big red sun
Look a lot like fire?
When you come out of the ground
After forty-eight hours

chorus

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 the drill and the hammer
I feel the killin' heat
Going two miles down to the heart
Of Durban deep

verse

I was born on Amen corner
I pound rock face, I get lonely
But my family, they go hungry
Still the boss, man, he call us lazy

pre-chorus

Don't the old blue heaven
Look a lot like your eyes
When you're blinded by the brightness
Of the Transvaal sky?

chorus

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 the drill and the hammer
I feel the killin' heat
Going two miles down to the heart
Of Durban deep

chorus

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 the drill and the hammer
I feel the killin' heat
Going two miles down to the heart
Of Durban deep
