Miner Lyrics

If I was a miner, I'd sing about the mine,
I'd tell you of the women that love you for a time.
Love you for a time... take you to their home
If I was a miner, I'd make them my own

Hey, hey, hey!
Make them my own.

If I was a banker, I'd take a widow's farm,
I'd never work on Sunday, and I'd eat my biscuits warm.
I'd eat my biscuits warm, with some fruit from a jar.
If I was a banker, I'd buy me a new car.

Hey, hey, hey!
Buy me a new car.

If I was a preacher, I'd speak the Holy Word.
I'd leave the Church to ramble and I'd congregate with birds.
I'd congregate with birds, and forget about the rest.
You must believe in Heaven if you wanna build a nest.

Hey, hey, hey!
Wanna build a nest

If your woman's stubborn and she's got cold feet,
You take her to the laundromat and roll her in the sheets.
And if your woman's triflin', and she got no luck,
You take her to the river and you wash her in the flood.

Hey, hey, hey!
Wash her in the flood.

Hey, hey, hey!
Wash her in the flood.

Hey, hey, hey!
Wash her in the flood.
