《Miner’s Prayer》歌词

[00:00:00] Miner's Prayer (LP Version) - Dwight Yoakam

[00:00:05] When the whistle blows each morning

[00:00:09] And I walk down in that cold dark mine

[00:00:14] I say a prayer to my dear Savior

[00:00:18] Please let me see the sunshine one more time

[00:00:22] Chorus:

[00:00:22] When oh when will it be over

[00:00:27] When will I lay these burdens down

[00:00:32] And when I die dear Lord in heaven

[00:00:36] Please take my soul from 'neath that cold dark ground

[00:00:41] I still grieve for my poor brother

[00:00:45] And I still hear my dear old mother cry

[00:00:50] When late that night they came and told her

[00:00:55] He'd lost his life down in the Big Shoal Mine

[00:00:59] Chorus:

[00:00:59] When oh when will it be over

[00:01:03] When will I lay these burdens down

[00:01:07] And when I die dear Lord in heaven

[00:01:12] Please take my soul from 'neath that cold dark ground

[00:01:16] I have no shame I feel no sorrow

[00:01:29] If on this earth not much I own

[00:01:33] I have the love of my sweet children

[00:01:38] An old plow mule a shovel and a hoe

[00:01:43] Chorus:

[00:01:43] When oh when will it be over

[00:01:48] When will I lay these burdens down

[00:01:52] And when I die dear Lord in heaven

[00:01:56] Please take my soul from 'neath that cold dark ground

[00:02:00] Yeah when I die dear Lord in heaven

[00:02:05] Please take my soul from 'neath that cold dark ground
