Verse 1
A
He's a poor man
G
D
cause mining's all he's known
A
G
D
And miners don't get rich loading coal
He's a sick man,
G
cause the coal dust took its stand
A
But he don't expect to get no help
G
D
from that operator man
A
Well, it's goodbye old -timer,
G
D
I guess our time has come.
A
Those waterholes,
that dirty coal dust
G
D
eatin' up our lung s.
We'll leave this world
just as poor
G
as the day we saw the sun.
A
Well it's goodbye old timer,
G
D
all your mining is done.
A
I remember the time
when I could load more
G
D
coal than any man.
A
Now my health is gone, buried in,
G
D
down in that dirty ground.
And they've taken away my right,
G
privilege to be a man,
A
but I know that I can't tell all that
G
D
to that operator man.
A
Well it's goodbye old timer,
G
D
I guess our time has come.
A
Those waterholes, that dirty coal dust
G
D
eatin' up our lung s.
We'll leave this world
just as poor
G
as the day we saw the sun
A
Well, it's goodbye, old -timer
G
D
All your minin' is done
A
Remem ber old -timers,
G
D
when we were little kid s,
A
we'd talk about our mining days
G
D
when we got grown and big.
But now we're all broken men,
G
they don't need us around.
A
Though we gave our lives
to make them rich,
G
D
they won't give us a dime.
A
Well, it's goodbye old time,
G
D
I guess our time is come.
A
Those water holes,
that dirty coal dust
G
D
eatin' up our lung s.
We'll leave this world
just as poor
G
as the day we saw the sun
A
Well it's goodbye old timer,
G
D
A
all your mining is done
Mmmhh.. Mmmhh..
