Thread Name: Lyr Req: The Old Miner (from Maddy Prior)
Subject: Maddy Prior's Lyrics: The Old Miner
I can understand almost all of Maddy's words in the song "The Old Miner," except for the following. Can anybody help with these? (Sorry, I don't recall what album... it was a recent one.)

Verse 1: Oh, who'll replace this old miner And who will take my place below And who will follow the - - - - Oh dear god, when I go?

Verse 6: For forty years I've loved the mine For forty years I've worked down there Now who'll replace this old miner When I fade - - - - -

Thanks for your help!
