Testo Working Man - Celtic Thunder, George Donaldson

Working Man

It’s a working man I am and I’ve been down underground\nAnd I swear to God if I ever see the sun\nOr for any length of time I can hold it in my mind\nI never again will go down underground\nAt the age of sixteen years, oh he quarrels with his peers\nWho vowed they’d never see another one\nIn the dark recess of the mine where you age before your time\nAnd the coal dust lies heavy on your lungs\nIt’s a working man I am and I’ve been down underground\nAnd I swear to God if I ever see the sun\nOr for any length of time I can hold it in my mind\nI never again will go down underground\nAt the age of sixty four he will greet you at the door\nAnd he will gently lead you by the arm\nThrough the dark recess of the mine he will take you back in time\nAnd he’ll tell you of the hardships that were had\nIt’s a working man I am and I’ve been down underground\nAnd I swear to God if I ever see the sun\nOr for any length of time I can hold it in my mind\nI never again will go down underground\nLord, I never again will go down underground\nIt’s a working man I am and I’ve been down underground\nAnd I swear to God if I ever see the sun\nOr for any length of time I can hold it in my mind\nI never again will go down underground
