"Miner's Refrain"

In the black dust towns of east Tennessee 
All the work's about the same
And you may not go to the job in the ground 
But you learn the miner's refrain

I'm down in a hole, I'm down in a hole, 
Down in a deep, dark hole
I'm down in a hole, I'm down in a hole, 
Down in a deep, dark hole

When you search the rain for the silver cloud 
And you wait on days of gold
When you pitch to the bottom 
And the [bad word] down 
You cry so cold, so cold

I'm down in a hole, I'm down in a hole, 
Down in a deep, dark hole
I'm down in a hole, I'm down in a hole, 
Down in a deep, dark hole

Now there's something good in a worried song 
For the trouble in your soul
'Cause a worried man who's been a long way down
Down in a deep dark hole

I'm down in a hole, I'm down in a hole, 
Down in a deep, dark hole
I'm down in a hole, I'm down in a hole, 
Down in a deep, dark hole

I'm down in a deep, dark hole.
