Miner's Prayer Lyrics

	作词 : Yoakam
	(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
