Down In The Silvermine

Down in the silvermine Dusk is playing tricks on time Days are long but the work is fine Down in the silvermine Hear how the band is playing Folks on the platform saying Bye to the boy who's leaving home Hurry, the whistle's blowing Hanky, my tears are showing Anchors away, I'm on my own I'd never lose her on a silver streak Far from the girl I left behind No time for tears and sorrow I've got silver on my mind Down in the silvermine Dusk is playing tricks on time Days are long but the work is fine Down in the silvermine Down in the silvermine Dusk is playing tricks on time Days are long but the work is fine Down in the silvermine Hi-ho, the wheels are grinding Strong arms, the picks are winding Straight down the mining shaft we go Why, oh, the rocks they rumble Into the dark we stumble Risking our lives because we know Down there's a one-way fare to Easy Street Grab all the silver we can find Sell to the highest bidder Head for the girl I left behind Down in the silvermine Dusk is playing tricks on time Days are long but the work is fine Down in the silvermine Down in the silvermine Dusk is playing tricks on time Days are long but the work is fine Down in the silvermine Down in the silvermine Dusk is playing tricks on time Days are long but the work is fine Down in the silvermine Down in the silvermine Down in the silvermine Down in the silvermine Down in the silvermine Down in the silvermine
