Inside Out - Coal Mine [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

(Melody 1)
Working in a coal mine
Goin' down down
Working in a coal mine
Whoop! Somebody slipped down
Working in a coal mine
Goin' down down
Working in a coal mine
Whoop! Somebody slipped down

Five o'clock in the morning
- I'm up before the sun
And when my workday is over
- No time for having fun
No, no, no

(Repeat Melody 1)
Ahhh. I'm so tired. How long can this go on?

Said if you see me comin' better step aside
A lot of men didn't and a lot of men died
I got one fist of iron, and the other of steel
If the right one don't a get ya then the left one will

I was born one morning when the sun didn't shine
Picked up my shovel and walked to the line
I hauled 16 tons of number 9 coal
And the straw boss said "Well bless my soul."

(Melody 2)
Sixteen tons what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me cuz I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store

(Melody 3)
Hit the road Jack
And don't you come back
No more no more no more no more
Hit the road Jack
And don't you come back no more

(Melody 2 and 3)

Five o'clock in the morning
I'm up before the sun
And when my workday is over
No time for having fun
No No No

(Melody 1 and 2)

Ahhh. I'm so tired
How long can this go on?
Wah wah wah
How long can this go on?
Man, that's all we ever hear
From this guy
Listen, you need to go out
And get a job, Jack

(With Melody 1 and 2)
Nobody knows the trouble I've seen
Nobody knows my sorrow

Working
Going
Working
Whooooop
Somebody slipped down
(Repeat)
