A# D# A#
Billy's first breath was the last for his mother
Gm F A#
He was born on the shores of a town called Glace Bay
D# A#
And all that he had was himself and his father
F A#
And he lived in a house about a mile down the way
D# A#
His dad was a big man, he worked as a miner
Gm F A#
Billy grew more to be like him each day
D# A#
'Cause every boy's dream was to work with his father
F A#
In the mine that ran under the bay
CHORUS:
F F7 A#
"My son," he said, "don't be a miner,
F A#
'Cause it's hard work and too little pay.
F A# D#
You'll dig in that hole for the company's coal
A# F A#
And wind up just digging your grave."
D# A#
Billy grew older but never grew wiser
Gm F A#
Fighting and drinking his young life away
D# A#
He reached for the top, but wound up on the bottom
F A#
Of the mine that ran under the bay
CHORUS:
F F7 A#
"My son," he said, "don't be a miner,
F A#
'Cause it's hard work and too little pay.
F A# D#
You'll dig in that hole for the company's coal
A# F A#
And wind up just digging your grave."
INSTRUMENTAL: A# F A# F A# F A# D# A# F A# F Gm F A#
D# A#
They say that it happened one morning in April
Gm F A#
G cave-in at Number Eleven that day
D# A#
Billy got there as his dad reached the surface
F A#
In his dying words he did say:
CHORUS:
F F7 A#
"My son," he said, "don't be a miner,
F A#
'Cause it's hard work and too little pay.
F A# D#
You'll dig in that hole for the company's coal
A# F A#
And wind up just digging your grave."
CHORUS:
F F7 A#
"My son," he said, "don't be a miner,
F A#
'Cause it's hard work and too little pay.
F A# D#
You'll dig in that hole for the company's coal
A# F A#
And wind up just digging your grave.
F A# D#
Yeah, you'll dig in that hole for the company's coal
A# F A# Gm F A#
And wind up just digging your grave."
