and I've been down underground
And I swear to God if I ever see the sun
I never again will go down underground
At the age of sixteen years
Oh, he quarrels with his peers
In the dark recess of the minds
Where you age before your time
And the coal dust lies heavy
And I've been down underground
And I swear to God if I ever see the sun
Or for any length of time,
I can hold it in my mind,
I never again will go down underground.
At the age of sixty -four,
he will greet you at the door
And he will gently lead you by
Through the dark recess of the minds,
He will take you back in time.
He will tell you all the hard
and I've been down underground,
and I swear to God if I ever see the sun
Or for any length of time,
I never again will go down underground
I've been down on the ground
And I swear to God if I ever see the sun
Or for any length of time,
I never again will go down underground
I've been down on the ground
And I swear to God if I ever see the sun
Or for any length of time,
I never again will go down underground
