Working in The Coal Mine Lyrics

[Chorus x2:]
Working in the coal mine
Going on down, down
Working in a coal mine
Oops
About to slip down

[Verse 2:]
Five o'clock in the morning
I'm already up and gone
Lord, I'm so tired
How long can this go on?

[Repeat Chorus:]

[Verse 2:]
Cause I make a little money
Hauling coal by the ton
When Saturday rolls around
I'm too tired for having fun

[Repeat Chorus:]

[Bridge:]
Lord
I'm so tired
How long can this go on?
[Repeat Chorus:]

Five o'clock in the morning
I'm already up and gone
Lord, I'm so tired
How long can this go on?

[Repeat Chorus:]

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
