Miners Prayer

	  		
Verse:
 
          C 
When the whistle blows each morning 
      G7                          C 
And I walk down in that cold dark mine 
        C 
I say a prayer to my dear savior 
              G7                          C 
please let me see that sun shine one more time 

F                       C 
when oh when will it be over 
     F                        G 
When will I lay these burdens down 
           C 
And when I die, dear Lord in heaven 
             G7                             C 
Please take soul from 'neath that cold dark ground
 

Verse: 
        C 
I still grieve for my poor brother 
            G7                      C 
and I still hear my dear old mother cry 
          C  
Late that night they came and told her 
            G7                        C 
he lost his life down in the van leer mine 

F                       C 
when oh when will it be over 
     F                        G 
When will I lay these burdens down 
           C 
And when I die, dear Lord in heaven 
            G7 
Please take soul from 'neath that cold dark ground 


Verse: 
          C 
I have no shame, I feel no sorrow 
        G7               C   
If this earth, not much I own 
           C  
I have the love of my sweet children 
            G7                   C 
An old plow mule, a shovel and a hoe 

F                       C 
when oh when will it be over 
     F                        G 
When will I lay these burdens down 
           C 
And when I die, dear Lord in heaven 
            G7                               C 
Please take soul from 'neath that cold dark ground

Yeah when I die, dear Lord in heaven 
            G7                              C 
Please take soul from 'neath that cold dark ground
