(Verse 1)
Lower me down ‘neath my papaw’s bones
Before the sun does shine
Then raise me up when the moon does glow
Outta' this dusty mine

(Chorus)
Lungs of soot, calloused hands
Paying for King Coal’s crown
Picking black gold outta' the ground
‘Til the walls come a-tumblin’ down

(Verse 2)
Timbers shored, lanterns burn
They light the coal up bright
I hope my wife don’t toss and turn
If I'm home late tonight

(Chorus)
Lungs of soot, calloused hands
Paying for King Coal’s crown
Picking black gold outta' the ground
‘Til the walls come a-tumblin’ down

(Verse 3)
My pick will pierce the еarth below
Pray the timbers don’t givе way
16 tons of rock would surely bow
And bury me away
(Chorus)
Lungs of soot, calloused hands
Paying for King Coal’s crown
Picking black gold outta' the ground
‘Til the walls come a-tumblin’ down

‘Til the walls come a-tumblin’ down

‘Til the walls come a-tumblin’ down
