Billy's first breath was the last for his mother
F#m E A
He was born on the shores of a town called Glace Bay
D A
And all that he had was himself and his father
E A
And he lived in a house about a mile down the way
D A
His dad was a big man, he worked as a miner
F#m E A
Billy grew more to be like him each day
D A
'Cause every boy's dream was to work with his father
E A
In the mine that ran under the bay
CHORUS:
E E7 A
"My son," he said, "don't be a miner,
E A
'Cause it's hard work and too little pay.
E A D
You'll dig in that hole for the company's coal
A E A
And wind up just digging your grave."
D A
Billy grew older but never grew wiser
F#m E A
Fighting and drinking his young life away
D A
He reached for the top, but wound up on the bottom
E A
Of the mine that ran under the bay
CHORUS:
E E7 A
"My son," he said, "don't be a miner,
E A
'Cause it's hard work and too little pay.
E A D
You'll dig in that hole for the company's coal
A E A
And wind up just digging your grave."

They say that it happened one morning in April
F#m E A
F# cave-in at Number Eleven that day

Billy got there as his dad reached the surface
E A
In his dying words he did say:
CHORUS:

"My son," he said, "don't be a miner,
E A
'Cause it's hard work and too little pay.
E A D
You'll dig in that hole for the company's coal

And wind up just digging your grave."
CHORUS:

And wind up just digging your grave.

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