Subject: Lyrics wanted to Working Man(?Canadian) From: Date: 05 Jun 98 - 07:24 PM I've heard this song twice recently and my wife is keen to learn it. It is very applicable to Cornwall with all the tin mining that used to go on. I may be able to dredge up some of the words if needed but lyrics and chords if poss would be appreciated. Baz |

Subject: RE: Lyrics wanted to Working Man(?Canadian) From: Joe Offer Date: 06 Jun 98 - 02:25 PM Hi, Mick - I fixed your text as best I could. Main thing to remember is that you have to put a line break symbol at the end of each line, which is < br > (no spaces within the brackets) - the angle brackets mark off HTML commands. I haven't found a good way to space chords, so I think it may be best to put them in like they are here (I just used your text and put in the break marks). Take a look at the "Rise Up Singing" songbook - their method of displaying chords is reasonably understandable. -Joe Offer- |

Subject: Lyr Add: WORKING MAN (from Dolly Parton) From: GUEST,digit@hotkey.net.au Date: 06 Oct 04 - 06:25 AM Artist: Dolly Parton Song Title: Working Man Album: [Buy " " CD] Coal miners, old and young, dirty and dusty coveralls Silver lunch can in hand Going down the rake, father and son Carrying on that age old tradition You see they are working men CHORUS It's a working man I am and I've been down underground And I swear by God if I ever see the sun Over any length of time, I can hold it in my mind Then I will never again go down underground At the age of sixteen years, he quarreled with his peers And he swears there will never be another on In the dark recess of the mine, where you age before your time And the coal dust lies heavy on your lungs REPEAT CHORUS At the age of sixty-four, if he lives that long, he'll greet you at the door And he'll gently lead you by the arm In the dark recess of the mine, he can take you back in time Tell you of the hardships that were there REPEAT CHORUS TWICE No, I never again will go down underground |
