Miner`s Refrain Lyrics

Miner`s Refrain lyrics

In the black dust towns of east Tennessee 

All the work's about the same

And you may not go to the job in the ground 

But you learn the miner's refrain



I'm down in a hole, I'm down in a hole, 

Down in a deep, dark hole

I'm down in a hole, I'm down in a hole, 

Down in a deep, dark hole



When you search the rain for the silver cloud 

And you wait on days of gold

When you pitch to the bottom 

And the dirt comes down 

You cry so cold, so cold



I'm down in a hole, I'm down in a hole, 

Down in a deep, dark hole

I'm down in a hole, I'm down in a hole, 

Down in a deep, dark hole



Now there's something good in a worried song 

For the trouble in your soul

'Cause a worried man who's been a long way down

Down in a deep dark hole



I'm down in a hole, I'm down in a hole, 

Down in a deep, dark hole

I'm down in a hole, I'm down in a hole, 

Down in a deep, dark hole



I'm down in a deep, dark hole
