Lyrics:

Spent my whole life working in the mines
Twenty-seven years neath’ the Hemlock Pines
In Ol’ Kentucky

I was only eighteen when I took the job
Just like my daddy and my granddaddy did
Before for me

With dirty faces and calloused hands
We worked these tunnels till we could barely stand
Now they’re closing up the mines
Shutting down the plants
There’s no place left for a coal mining man
No place left for a coal mining man

When the jobs left town
thought I’d do the same
But all I’ve ever known has been this place
And I can’t seem to go

Toughest part is looking in
Rose’s eyes
And telling her it’ll be alright
When I just don’t know

With dirty faces and calloused hands
We worked these tunnels till we could barely stand
Now they’re closing up the mines
Shutting down the plants
There’s no place left for a coal mining man
No place left for a coal mining man

I feel myself begin to disappear
My whole way of life is gone
Forgotten like a relic of yesteryear
I don’t know how to keep moving on

There’s boarded up windows down on main street
There’s men on the corner like scattered leaves
There’s an air that weighs a ton

I see a sadness in my mama’s eyes
And every time I cough I hear her cry
Oh lord don’t take my son

With dirty faces and calloused hands
We worked these tunnels till we could barely stand
Now they’re closing up the mines
Shutting down the plants
There’s no place left for a coal mining man
No place left for a coal mining man
