Subject: Lyr Req: mining song (monday morning shift #1...)
Got part of a song on my recent trip and I'm looking for the rest of it. Can you help? Here's what I got:

Monday morning shift number one
wish that the day's work was over and done
climb in the cage boys let her roll
where the warriors fight for the coal
and the wheels on the head gear spin around
and the _________________ is dropping down
feel the blood in your ears pound
down down in the ground.

______________
______________
there's a hell of a drop and a howling gale
as the cage whistles downward telling its tale
