Lyrics
There is a place
Where I've always longed to go
Deep in the earth
With my lonesome lantern's glow
Many hardened souls have been taken
Deep within the veins of the earth
Seldom has their courage been shaken
Brotherhood and all that it's worth
Down underground
There's a world we call our own
Far from the sun
In the dark and damp and cold
Many hard earned days have we spent there
Never to succumb to our fears
Carrying our loads we are working
Sweating through the blood and the tears
With my pickax heart and soul
I will mine these veins of coal
With my pickax heart and soul
I will mine these veins of coal
There is a place
Where I've always longed to go
Deep in the earth
With my lonesome lantern's glow
Many hardened souls have been taken
Deep within the veins of the earth
Seldom has their courage been shaken
Brotherhood and all that it's worth
With my pickax heart and soul
I will mine for coal
