No, thank you, son, I'm fine I quit 'em cold in '49 She said reek of drink or smoke, the choice is mine She passed on in '61 Yeah and I'll be honest, son I still reach for one from time to time I was born in '24 And when I got back from the war I dug more coal than I'd thought there was to dig And I've been putting on these clothes And driving down this dusty road For longer than I'd thought I'd ever live And it's all so still, you know When you're three hundred feet below And you smell the heat of hell just down the line Oh, but there's still goddamn coal Down in that goddamn hole Oh, and there's still hours to go 'til quitting time I heard trees turn into peat And underweight and heat Time turns everything to pitch-black gold And a billion years from then I'll go to town with all the men And piss every cent I earned into the snow And it's all so still, you know When you're three hundred feet below And you smell the heat of hell just down the line Oh, but there's still goddamn coal Down in that goddamn hole Oh, and there's still hours to go 'til quitting time I think I'd like to die Sitting on this old dragline Just roll me down the hole when it's my time Maybe someday, bless my soul When my body turns to coal I'll get dug up by some kid with eyes like mine And it's all so still, you know When you're three hundred feet below And you smell the heat of hell just down the line Oh, but there's still goddamn coal Down in that goddamn hole And there's still hours to go 'til quitting time There's still hours to go 'til quitting time
