Another verse is

At the age of ninety two
And his time on earth all through
Friends and family we all gathered round
And as the tears welled in our eyes
We said our last goodbyes
As we laid that proud old miner underground.

Alternatively

At the age of ninety two
And his time on earth all through
Friends and family we all gathered round
We cast his ashes to the wind
For we promised our old friend
That he ne'er again would go down underground
