Working Man

Working Man - Ronnie Ross

It's a working man I am

And I've been down under ground

I swear to God if I ever see the sun

Or for any length of time

I can hold it in my mind

I never again will go down under ground

At the age of sixteen years

I quarrels with my peers

Who vowed they'd never see another one

In the dark recess of the mines

Where you age before your time

And the coal dust lies heavy on your lungs

It's a working man I am

And I've been down under ground

I swear to God if I ever see the sun

Or for any length of time

I can hold it in my mind

I never again will go down under ground

At the age of sixty five

It's a working man I am

And I've been down under ground

I swear to God if I ever see the sun

Or for any length of time

I can hold it in my mind

I never again will go down under ground

It's a working man I am

And I've been down under ground

I swear to God if I ever see the sun

Or for any length of time

I can hold it in my mind

I never again will go down under ground

I never again will go down under ground

I never again will go down under ground

I never again will go down under ground
