I thought I had got this from the Cafe recently but I couldn't find it so here it is.

It's a workin' man I am
And I've b'n down underground
And I swear to 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 quarrels with his peers
Who vowed they'd 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

(Repeat chorus)

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

(Repeat chorus couple of times)
If you need chords leave a message.
Regards Baz
