West Virginia's Last Hand Loader Songtext

von Blue Highway

I'm going down in the mine one more time
I'm gonna load that old car one more time
Hang on that check of mine one more time
I'm going down in the mine, load that car one more time
I'm going down in the mine one more time

We been watching those trains come in the hollow
They been bringing in all those big machines
That was specially built to fit our seam
Yeah, they're bringing in machines to dig faster than me
So I'm going down in the mines one more time

My doctor he says it's about time
These old lungs they don't belong in a mine
But him and my boss says it's alright just one more time
So I'm going down in the mine, load that car one more time
I'm going down in the mine one more time

I don't know what I'm gonna do when it's all gone
I don't know how I'll ever make it on my own
This old mine it has become my second home
But I'm going down in the mine, load that car one more time
I'm going down in the mine one more time
I'm gonna load that old car one more time
I'm going down in the mine one more time
