"The Miner's Lullaby" Lyrics by John Kaniecki

Looking over my lyrics I came across this gem. Hope you enjoy it.

The Miner's Lullaby

Digging for gold in Mother's deep womb

All is sold for another to take and consume

All I am left with is my broken hands

And weary, weary eyes nobody understands

I am a worker a miner that is my trade

Misery and trouble are the wages paid

I would rather fly in heaven's blue sky

But it is hell below until the day I die

So I sing the miner's lullaby

Banished from the light of the day

It is a hell of a fight to earn my pay

But I have hopes for my children dear

So I toil and labor brave in my fear

I am a worker a miner that is my trade

Misery and trouble are the wages paid

I would rather fly in heaven's blue sky

But it is hell below until the day I die

So I sing the miner's lullaby

In a moment the tunnel turns to grave

Trapped a mile below never to save

It is always in the back of our mind

The mines are bitter the mines unkind

I am a worker a miner that is my trade

Misery and trouble are the wages paid

I would rather fly in heaven's blue sky

But it is hell below until the day I die

So I sing the miner's lullaby

May my son live to a gentler life

May he marry and have a pleasant wife

May he never step his foot a mile below

May his daddy's ways he never know

I am a worker a miner that is my trade

Misery and trouble are the wages paid

I would rather fly in heaven's blue sky

But it is hell below until the day I die

So I sing the miner's lullaby
