B E B
Billy's first breath was the last for his mother
G#m F# B
He was born on the shores of a town called Glace Bay
E B
And all that he had was himself and his father
F# B
And he lived in a house about a mile down the way
E B
His dad was a big man, he worked as a miner
G#m F# B
Billy grew more to be like him each day
E B
'Cause every boy's dream was to work with his father
F# B
In the mine that ran under the bay
CHORUS:
F# F#7 B
"My son," he said, "don't be a miner,
F# B
'Cause it's hard work and too little pay.
F# B E
You'll dig in that hole for the company's coal
B F# B
And wind up just digging your grave."
E B
Billy grew older but never grew wiser
G#m F# B
Fighting and drinking his young life away
E B
He reached for the top, but wound up on the bottom
F# B
Of the mine that ran under the bay
CHORUS:
F# F#7 B
"My son," he said, "don't be a miner,
F# B
'Cause it's hard work and too little pay.
F# B E
You'll dig in that hole for the company's coal
B F# B
And wind up just digging your grave."

They say that it happened one morning in April
G#m F# B
G# cave-in at Number Eleven that day
E B
Billy got there as his dad reached the surface
F# B
In his dying words he did say:
CHORUS:
F# F#7 B
"My son," he said, "don't be a miner,
F# B
'Cause it's hard work and too little pay.
F# B E
You'll dig in that hole for the company's coal
B F# B
And wind up just digging your grave."

You'll dig in that hole for the company's coal
B F# B
And wind up just digging your grave.
F# B E
Yeah, you'll dig in that hole for the company's coal
B F# B G#m F# B
And wind up just digging your grave."
