Dolly Parton - Working Man - Текст песни

It's a workingman I am and I've been down underground 
And I swear by God if I ever see the sun 
Or for any length of time, I can hold it in my mind 
I never again will go down underground 

At the age of sixteen years, oh he quarreled with his peers 
Who vowed they'd see never see another one
In the dark recess of the mines, where you age before your time 
And the coal dust lies heavy on your lungs 

It's a workingman I am and I've been down underground 
And I swear by God if I ever see the sun 
Or for any length of time, I can hold it in my mind 
I never again will go down underground

At the age of sixty-four, oh he'll greet you at the door 
And he'll gently lead you by the arm 
Through the dark recess of the mines, he can take you back in time 
And he'll tell you of the hardships that were there 

It's a workingman I am and I've been down underground 
And I swear by God if I ever see the sun 
Or for any length of time, I can hold it in my mind 
I never again will go down underground

It's a workingman I am and I've been down underground 
And I swear by God if I ever see the sun 
Or for any length of time, I can hold it in my mind 
I never again will go down underground

It's a workingman I am and I've been down underground 
And I swear by God if I ever see the sun 
Or for any length of time, I can hold it in my mind 
I never again will go down underground 

No, I never again will go down underground
