Turn Off the Fear

You got to turn off the fear When you come down in to here While you're down here Loading, the coal for the man Lord, now, you can't be worried 'Bout the things that can go wrong You gotta keep love And coaling And plodding along. No, a man's life ain't nothing Lordy, that's how it seems There's just muscle and guts Down here under These machines... And, when the rock starts to fallin' The man, he says, "Son. You better bring out my machine Don't you leave it and run..." You got kin and your loved ones That are waitin' back home And, they're dependin' on you For everything y'all own So, with the mud and drippin' top And that old dust in the air You gotta turn off the fear When you come in to here... You gotta turn off the fear When you come down into here When you're down here a' workin' In the dark coal mine You gotta know that your dear Lord Is holding you near And, turn off the fear When you come in to here You gotta pray that your dear Lord Is holdin' you near And, just turn off the fear When you come in to here Yeah, just turn off the fear When you come in to here...
