The Lyrics
A tribute to the miners who were killed or injured in my husband's home state
Well they're dying in the coal mines
Trapped down down down
Dying in the coal mines
OSHA should have shut down
Early in the morn
The workday has begun
I hope nothing goes wrong
And there's ample oxygen
Cuz they're dying in the coal mines
Trapped down down down
Dying in the coal mines
OSHA should have shut down
Too many mishaps
In such a short of time
Mine collapse and fire
West Virginia government help these guys
Cuz they're dying in the coal mines
Trapped down down down
Dying in the coal mines
OSHA should have shut down
Dying
Trapped down down down
Dying in the coal mines
OSHA should have shut down
Early in the morn
The workday has begun
I hope nothing goes wrong
And there's ample oxygen
Cuz they're dying in the coal mines
Trapped down down down
Dying in the coal mines
OSHA should have shut down
Too many mishaps
In such a short of time
Mine collapse and fire
West Virginia government help these guys
Cuz they're dying in the coal mines
Trapped down down down
Dying in the coal mines
OSHA should have shut down
Dying
