Allen Toussaint - Working in a Coal Mine lyrics

(Workin' in a coal mine)
(Goin' down down down)
(Workin' in the coal mine)
(Whoops! About to slip down)
(Workin' in the coal mine)
(Goin' down down down)
(Workin' in the coal mine)
(Whoops! About to slip down)

Five o'clock in the mornin'
I'm already up and gone lord-a, I'm so tired
How long can this go on?

Just a-workin' (in the coal mine)
(Goin' down down down)
(Workin' in the coal mine)
(Whoops! About to slip down)
Workin' (in the coal mine)
Goin' down down down
Workin' (in the coal mine)
(Whoops! About to slip down)

'Course I make a lil money
Haulin' coal by the ton
But when Saturday rolls around
I'm too tired for havin' fun
Too tired for havin'

I'm just (workin' in a coal mine)
Goin' (down down down)
(Workin' in a coal mine)
(Whoops! About to slip down)
Just a-workin' (in the coal mine)
Goin' (down down down)
Workin' (in the coal mine)
(Whoops! About to slip down)

I'm so tired how long can this go on?

(Workin' in the coal mine)
(Goin' down down down)
(Workin' in the coal mine)
(Whoops! About to slip down)
Workin' (in a coal mine)
Goin' (down down down)
(Workin' in the coal mine)
(Whoops! About to slip down)

Five o'clock in the mornin'
I'm already up and gone lord, I'm so tired
How long can this go on? How long?

(Workin' in the coal mine)
Goin' (down down down)
(Workin' in a coal mine)
(Whoops! About to slip down)
Workin' (in a coal mine)
Goin' (down down down)
(Workin' in the coal mine)
(Whoops! About to slip down)

'Course I make a li'l money
Haulin' coal by the ton
But when Saturday rolls around
I'm too tired for havin' fun
Too tired for havin'

I'm (Workin' in the coal mine)
(Goin' down down down)
(Workin' in a coal mine)
(Whoops! About to slip down)
Workin' (in a coal mine)
Goin' down down down
Workin' (in a coal mine)
(Whoops! About to slip down)

Lord, I'm so tired how long can this go on?

Workin' (in a coal mine)
Goin' (down down down)
Workin' (in a coal mine)
