Billy's first breath was the last for his mother
C#m B E
He was born on the shores of a town called Glace Bay
A E
And all that he had was himself and his father
B E
And he lived in a house about a mile down the way
A E
His dad was a big man, he worked as a miner
C#m B E
Billy grew more to be like him each day
A E
'Cause every boy's dream was to work with his father
B E
In the mine that ran under the bay
CHORUS:
B B7 E
"My son," he said, "don't be a miner,
B E
'Cause it's hard work and too little pay.
B E A
You'll dig in that hole for the company's coal
E B E
And wind up just digging your grave."
A E
Billy grew older but never grew wiser
C#m B E
Fighting and drinking his young life away
A E
He reached for the top, but wound up on the bottom
B E
Of the mine that ran under the bay
CHORUS:
B B7 E
"My son," he said, "don't be a miner,
B E
'Cause it's hard work and too little pay.
B E A
You'll dig in that hole for the company's coal
E B E
And wind up just digging your grave."

They say that it happened one morning in April
C#m B E
C# cave-in at Number Eleven that day
A E
Billy got there as his dad reached the surface
B E
In his dying words he did say:
CHORUS:
B B7 E
"My son," he said, "don't be a miner,
B E
'Cause it's hard work and too little pay.
B E A
You'll dig in that hole for the company's coal

And wind up just digging your grave."
CHORUS:

"My son," he said, "don't be a miner,

'Cause it's hard work and too little pay.

You'll dig in that hole for the company's coal
E B E
And wind up just digging your grave.
B E A
Yeah, you'll dig in that hole for the company's coal
E B E C#m B E
And wind up just digging your grave."
