Fire in the Hole lyrics

You can tell them in the country, tell them in the town

The miners down in Mingo laid their shovels down

We won't pull another pillar, load another ton

Or lift another finger till the union we have won

Stand up boys, let the bosses know

Turn your buckets over, turn your lanterns low

There's fire in our hearts and fire in our soul

But there ain't gonna be no fire in the hole

Oh, daddy died a miner and grandpa, he did too

I'll bet this coal will kill me 'fore my working days is through

When a hole is dark and dirty, an early grave you'll find

I plan to make a union for the ones I leave behind

Stand up boys, let the bosses know

Turn you buckets over, turn your lanterns low

There's fire in our hearts and fire in our soul

But there ain't gonna be no fire in the hole

There ain't gonna be no fire in the hole
