Текст (слова) песни: Dwight Yoakam - Miner`s Prayer
(D. Yoakam)
Miner`s Prayer is dedicated to the memory of Luther Tibbs. A Kentucky coal miner for 40 years, and my Grandpa.
When the whistle blows each morning And I walk down in that cold, dark mine I say a prayer to my dear Savior Please let me see the sunshine one more time
Chorus: When oh when will it be over When will I lay these burdens down And when I die, dear Lord in heaven Please take my soul from `neath that cold dark ground
I still grieve for my poor brother And I still hear my dear old mother cry When late that night they came and told her He`d lost his life down in the Big Shoal Mine
Chorus: When oh when will it be over When will I lay these burdens down And when I die, dear Lord in heaven Please take my soul from `neath that cold dark ground
I have no shame, I feel no sorrow If on this earth not much I own I have the love of my sweet children An old plow mule, a shovel and a hoe
Chorus: When oh when will it be over When will I lay these burdens down And when I die, dear Lord in heaven Please take my soul from `neath that cold dark ground
Yeah, when I die, dear Lord in heaven Please take my soul from `neath that cold dark ground
