only a miner Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]Poor hard -working miners,
their [F]troubles are [C]great
So often while working
they meet a sad [G]fate
[C]Killed by some accident,
there's [F]no one to [C]tell
Their mining's all over,
poor [G]miner, [C]farewell[Dm]
[F]Only a miner killed [C]under the ground
Only a minor, but one more [G]is gone
[C]Only a minor, but [F]one more is [C]gone
Leaving his wife and four
[G]children [C]alone
Leaving his little ones [F]out on the [C]street
Tired and hungry with nothing [G]to eat
[C]Mama is jobless and [F]Papa is [C]dead
Coal miners' children
[G]begging [Em]for [C]bread
[Dm]Only[F] a miner killed under [C]the ground
Only a miner, but one more [G]is gone
[C]Only a miner, but [F]one more is [C]gone
Leaving his wife and four
[G]children [C]alone
When I'm in Kentucky
so [F]of ten I'll [C]meet
Coal miners' children out on [G]the street
[C]What are you doing to [F]them, I have [C]said,
The coal miners' children,
[G]begging [Em]for [C]bread?[Dm]
[F]Only a miner killed [C]under the ground,
Only a miner, but one more [G]is gone.
[C]Only a miner, but [F]one more is [C]gone,
leaving his wife and four
[G]children [C]alone.
Their mining's all over,
poor [F]miner, [C]farewell.
