Lyrics:
Working in the coal mine
Going down down down
Working in the coal mine
Whoop I wanna sit down

Five o'clock in the morning
I'm already up and gone
Lord I'm so tired
How long can this go on

Cause I work every morning
Hauling coal by the ton,
But when Saturday rolls around
I'm too tired to have any fun

Spoken: Lord, I'm so tired. How long can this go on?
