Tom Flannery - Always Out of Sight lyrics

My beer pail is filled up to the brim to cool off a miners thirst And that dusty road that leads down down down Welcomes a coal man first Daylight hours don't hold much for me Was raised beneath a nighttime sky All I need is the lamp on my head To look a man in the eye Bitterness can fill the lungs with dust like in the chambers that we call home And miners justice will bury the man Who tries to tag my coal as his own Yet when they call us out we'll walk the line And link arms whatever our names Cause red on black is a sickening sight Irish Welsh and Slavs the same Through a lifetime filled with endless toil my Daddy took care of his own On that dusty road he went down down down To that midnight world that he called home But the diamonds in a rich man's eyes Blind him to the miner's fate That dusty hole took his breath away It put my old man in his grave
