Last Day In The Mines 歌词

For as long as I can remember I've worked down in this pit But today it's all over for this is the day I quit I'm gonna take my sweet little Ginny and make her my own We gonna move down in the valley and built ourselves a home This is the last day in the mines [ guitar ] Well I swing that pick move that shovel and time goes so slow I can hardly wait for my boss to tell me that it's time to go Up at the top I know my Ginny is waiting patiently In just a few minutes I'll be there with her and from the mines be free This is the last day in the mines [ guitar ] But wait a minute what's that rumble way back in the ground Good Lord it's a cave in and the rocks are a fallin' all around Now the timbers are breakin' and the rats are runnin' and I can hardly see Inside my chest there's a mighty burnin' and my strenght is leavin' me This is the last day in the mines [ guitar ] Beneath these rocks and timbers and with my strenght all gone My thoughts turn to Ginny I must leave her all alone I know they'll try to save me but they gonna be too late For over that river through that valley I see heaven's gates This is the last day in the mines Oh this is the last day in the mines this is the last day in the mines
