Baer might know some but he don't know me When Mitchell calls us out he'd better leave my breast be For I've got miners eyes in the dark they see And I'll sing hallelujah Chorus: Oh oh oh oh oh We'll sing hallelujah It's been twenty years since a raise in pay And the company store is gonna own my grave The coal I dug they claimed was rock today And I'll sing hallelujah (chorus) Some the time is right though times are bad But it's the only job that I've ever had Wives hide their husbands clothes so they won't scab For them I'll sing hallelujah (chorus) He said the coal you dig it ain't got no face And it don't give a damn for religion or race It's just coal looking to get out of this place And we'll sing hallelujah (chorus)
