Select language to translate this lyric
I make my living pulling coal from the ground
The work pays good but it's hard
Six days a week for thirty five years
Spent most of my life in the dark
But on Sunday I wake up before the sun does
And I get down on my knees
Saying Lord, I've this one day out of that hole
Could you shine a little light on me
And shine a little light on me, Lord
Shine a little light on me
I go back in the dark tomorrow, Lord
Just shine a little light on me
Now I wonder if folks ever think about me
When they sleep in their warm homes at night
When they walk in the sunshine in the world up there
While I'm down here by carbide light
When my life here is over and my body it lies cold
And all of my work here is done
Don't you spend any money for a stone over me
Just make sure that I rest in the sun
Oh, and shine a little light on me, Lord
Shine a little light on me
go back in the dark tomorrow, Lord
Just shine a little light on me
