Lyrics of Last day in the mines

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
