D G D
Billy's first breath was the last for his mother
Bm A D
He was born on the shores of a town called Glace Bay
G D
And all that he had was himself and his father
A D
And he lived in a house about a mile down the way
G D
His dad was a big man, he worked as a miner
Bm A D
Billy grew more to be like him each day
G D
'Cause every boy's dream was to work with his father
A D
In the mine that ran under the bay
CHORUS:
A A7 D
"My son," he said, "don't be a miner,
A D
'Cause it's hard work and too little pay.
A D G
You'll dig in that hole for the company's coal
D A D
And wind up just digging your grave."
G D
Billy grew older but never grew wiser
Bm A D
Fighting and drinking his young life away
G D
He reached for the top, but wound up on the bottom
A D
Of the mine that ran under the bay
CHORUS:
A A7 D
"My son," he said, "don't be a miner,
A D
'Cause it's hard work and too little pay.
A D G
You'll dig in that hole for the company's coal
D A D
And wind up just digging your grave."

G D
They say that it happened one morning in April
Bm A D
B cave-in at Number Eleven that day
G D
Billy got there as his dad reached the surface
A D
In his dying words he did say:
CHORUS:
A A7 D
"My son," he said, "don't be a miner,
A D
'Cause it's hard work and too little pay.
A D G
You'll dig in that hole for the company's coal
D A D
And wind up just digging your grave."
CHORUS:
A A7 D
"My son," he said, "don't be a miner,
A D
'Cause it's hard work and too little pay.
A D G
You'll dig in that hole for the company's coal
D A D
And wind up just digging your grave.
A D G
Yeah, you'll dig in that hole for the company's coal
D A D Bm A D
And wind up just digging your grave."
