But there on that hillside,
G

D
there's an old miner's grave
And there's no one to claim him
G
Or care if he's gone away
A
For he was only a miner,
D
and it's only a coal miner's grave
So pay no attention,
G
it's only an old miner's grave
A
Pay no attention to the
friars and the weeds,
D
let them stay
Cause who's gonna miss him
G
and care that he's gone away
A
For he was only a miner,
and it's only a coal miner's

In 1913, loaded coal ten hours a day.
Six days a week,

He was shot down by gun thugs

So the brars and brambos
G
ramble all over his grave.

Like the thorns in his life,
D
for living he had to pay
Now there's no one to miss him,
G
good that he's gone away
A
He was only a miner,
and it's only coal miner's
