Coal Miner Visual Song by Shelley Lynch She's not the Coal Miner's daughter ..... She's the Coal Miner. Coal Miner © 2011 Shelley Lynch Visit her website I work in a coal mine, The pay is good, just doin’ time 12 hour days, and long nights Happy hour is our quittin’ time It’s no, pick and shovel It’s like a little city in the mountains, The trucks are 22 feet wide 240 tonnes of rock and coal Pre chorus One big happy family Some say we’re living the dream Moneys good, days off are better We even have our rescue, slash fire fighters Chorus Hey Hey I’m a coal miner, 30 years, I’ll be retired, A nice home, good pension plan Winters in Mexico when I can A coal miner Down in the open black pit Drilling holes and blowin’ up shit Shovel bucket 50 tonnes of rock Graders, dozers, Mickey on the loader Management tells us what to do Engineers, enviro, mechanics too Coal is sent to the process plant Then on the train for a good pay check Pre chorus Chorus Bridge Kching, kching baby, just livin’ the dream Yup, electricians, millrights we’ve got everything Chorus In the jail wagon, one more night Movin’ mountains until daylight A coal miner
