As an able bodied boy
Bm D
he lied about his age

from the rattle of a poor man's ball and chain

They made him shoot their coal
Bm D
and he was grateful at the time
F#m A
but there was many a boy who had done
Bm F#m
the same and they never came out alive

Well they were biting down on blasting caps

They sent him deep into the mine
Bm D
where a boy cant see the light of day

Guided by the lamp

on his head in the dark

He begins to pray
F#m A
that the fuses were all cut right
Bm D
and that a stray spark don't take light
F#m A
praise that he won't die in this mine
Bm D A F#m
He hates the thought of mama crying...
