lyrics

sound the alarm
for the whole town to know
we lost another man
(we lost another man)

send his wife
her Easter ham
and a condolence letter

in your finest print
make sure you use
the company's letterhead

and can you tell his eldest son
we got a job for him down there
"grab a helmet, pack your lunch"
"punch in and let the lights go out"

tomorrow morning
you're going down the hole (kid) x2


to live and die
underground

day in day out
black lungs
and broken bones
dynamite
picks and shovels
to the sound
of sad work songs

"that's the sound of the men
working on the chain gang"

to live and die
underground

sound the alarm
for the whole town to know
we lost another man
(we lost another man)

send his mother
a christmas card
and a wreath of flowers

and could you tell his youngest brother
we got a job for him

like father, like son
(and) from brother to brother
that's how it was
for generations
in search of copper and gold
