Last Day In The Mines (1964)
For as long as I can remember Iâve worked down in this pit
But today itâs all over for this is the day I quit
Gonna take my sweet little Jenny and make her my own
We will move down in the valley and build ourselves a home
This is my last day in the mines
I swing that pick move that shovel and time goes so slow
I can hardly wait for the boss to tell me that itâs time to go
Up at the top I know my Jenny is waiting patiently
In just a few minutes Iâll be there with her and from the mines be free
This is my last day in the mines
Wait a minute, whatâs that rumble way back in the ground
Good lord itâs a cave in and the rocks are a-falling all around
The timbers are a-breaking the rats are a-running and I can hardly see
Inside my chest thereâs a mighty burning my strength is leaving me
This is my last day in the mines
Yes my strength is slowly leaving and my mind plays tricks on me
For it seems I can hear my Jenny calling tenderly
Though my friend will try to reach me I afraid itâll be too late
For over that river and through that valley I see heavenâs gate
This is my last day in the mines
This is my last day in the mines
