The Roof Is Coming Down
Methane gas and coal dust are the company that I keep
Methane gas and coal dust are the company that I keep
I can hear the devil whisper in the darkness low and deep
Grab what you can get out of the mine the roof is coming down
Grab what you can get out of the mine the roof is coming down
I can hear the timbers cracking feel the rattle of the ground
My daddy lost a brother in the Mingo County mine
Yes, my daddy lost another in the Matewan number nine
Then black lung took my daddy left my dear old mother crying
Grab what you can get out of the mine the roof is coming down
Grab what you can get out of the mine the roof is coming down
I can hear the timbers cracking feel the rattle of the ground
I just pray the good Lord lets me see the daylight one more time
I just pray the good Lord lets me see the daylight one more time
I won't have to spend my last day digging in a deep coal mine
Grab what you can get out of the mine the roof is coming down
Grab what you can get out of the mine the roof is coming down
I can hear the timbers cracking feel the rattle of the ground
