F

With your kind attention,
the song I will trill
On you who must toil
C
C

with a pick and the drill
F
F

Sweat for your bread in
that hole in Oak Hill
C
C

F
F

C
C

F
F

That goes down, down, down
When I was a lad, says my daddy to me
Stay out of Oak Hill,
C
C

take my warning, says he
F
F

Or with dust you'll be choked,
C
C

and a popper you'll be broken down,
F
F

C
C

F
F

down, down.
But I went to Oak Hill
and I asked for a job,
a mule for to drive
C
C

or a gangway to rob.
F
F

The boss says, come out, Bill,
and follow the mob
C
C

F
F

C
C

F
F

that goes down, down, down.
On the strength of the job
and the tune of this rhyme
Strolled into Thames
C
C

and drank twenty -five shines
F
F

Reported next morning half dead
C
C

But on time to go down,
F
F

C
C

F
F

down, down
All aboard for the bottom,
the top man did yell
We stepped in the cage
C
C

and he ding -donged the bell
F
F

Threw that hole in Oak Hill
like a bat out
C
C

F
F

C
C

F
F

Hell, we went down, down, down.
She was blocked from the dish
to the knuckle with smoke.
The dust was so thick,
C
C

I thought I would choke.
F
F

Says I to myself,
C
C

I guess here's where I croak away down,
F
F

C
C

F
F

down, down.
I groped to a gangway,
I got me a scoop.
The cot was just fired,
C
C

muck heap up to the roof,
F
F

I scooped and I scooped
till my back looped the loop,
C
C

F
F

C
C

F
F

stoopin' down, down, down.
All I drew for the year was
a dollar or three,
C
C

Those company store thieves
made a pumper of me,
F
F

But for ballads like this one
I'd have starved for a spree
C
C

F
F

C
C

F
F

in the town, town, town.
Toil, you butterly grey,
on my poor daddy's head,
C
C

While he slaved at Oak Hill
to provide us with bread,
F
F

I wish I had heeded the
warning he pled,
C
C

F
F

Don't go down, down, down,
C
C

F
F

Don't go down, down, down.
