[Verse 1: Alice Gerrard & Hazel Dickens]
Once I had a daddy and he worked down in a hole
Once I had a daddy and he worked down in a hole
Diggin' and a-haulin', haulin' that Birmingham Coal
[Verse 2: Alice Gerrard & Hazel Dickens]
Many times, I wondered, when they took my daddy down
Many times, I wondered, when they took my daddy down
Will he come back to me? Will they leave him in the ground?
[Bridge: Alice Gerrard & Hazel Dickens]
Okay there, Hazel
Yodel-lay-hee-hay-hay-oh-hay-ee
[Verse 3: Alice Gerrard & Hazel Dickens]
Somethin' like a pitcher that they send down in a well
Somethin' like a pitcher that they send down in a well
Wondering, will thеy break it? Lordy, Lordy, who can tell?
[Verse 4: Alice Gerrard & Hazel Dickens]
It was late onе evening, I was standin' at that mine
It was late one evening, I was standin' at that mine
Foreman said my daddy had gone down for his last time
[Bridge: Alice Gerrard & Hazel Dickens]
Oh, say
Yodel-lay-hee-hay-hay-ho-daddy hey-ho-hayee
[Verse 5: Alice Gerrard & Hazel Dickens]
He was a coal miner from his hat down to his shoes
He was a coal miner from his hat down to his shoes
And I know he's dying with these mining town blues
Once I had a daddy and he worked down in a hole
Once I had a daddy and he worked down in a hole
Diggin' and a-haulin', haulin' that Birmingham Coal
[Verse 2: Alice Gerrard & Hazel Dickens]
Many times, I wondered, when they took my daddy down
Many times, I wondered, when they took my daddy down
Will he come back to me? Will they leave him in the ground?
[Bridge: Alice Gerrard & Hazel Dickens]
Okay there, Hazel
Yodel-lay-hee-hay-hay-oh-hay-ee
[Verse 3: Alice Gerrard & Hazel Dickens]
Somethin' like a pitcher that they send down in a well
Somethin' like a pitcher that they send down in a well
Wondering, will thеy break it? Lordy, Lordy, who can tell?
[Verse 4: Alice Gerrard & Hazel Dickens]
It was late onе evening, I was standin' at that mine
It was late one evening, I was standin' at that mine
Foreman said my daddy had gone down for his last time
[Bridge: Alice Gerrard & Hazel Dickens]
Oh, say
Yodel-lay-hee-hay-hay-ho-daddy hey-ho-hayee
[Verse 5: Alice Gerrard & Hazel Dickens]
He was a coal miner from his hat down to his shoes
He was a coal miner from his hat down to his shoes
And I know he's dying with these mining town blues
