Billy's first breath was the last for his mother
Em D G
He was born on the shores of a town called Glace Bay
C G
And all that he had was himself and his father
D G
And he lived in a house about a mile down the way
C G
His dad was a big man, he worked as a miner
Em D G
Billy grew more to be like him each day
C G
'Cause every boy's dream was to work with his father
D G
In the mine that ran under the bay
CHORUS:
D D7 G
"My son," he said, "don't be a miner,
D G
'Cause it's hard work and too little pay.
D G C
You'll dig in that hole for the company's coal
G D G
And wind up just digging your grave."
C G
Billy grew older but never grew wiser
Em D G
Fighting and drinking his young life away
C G
He reached for the top, but wound up on the bottom
D G
Of the mine that ran under the bay
CHORUS:
D D7 G
"My son," he said, "don't be a miner,
D G
'Cause it's hard work and too little pay.
D G C
You'll dig in that hole for the company's coal
G D G
And wind up just digging your grave."

They say that it happened one morning in April
Em D G
E cave-in at Number Eleven that day
C G
Billy got there as his dad reached the surface
D G
In his dying words he did say:
CHORUS:
D D7 G
"My son," he said, "don't be a miner,
D G
'Cause it's hard work and too little pay.
D G C
You'll dig in that hole for the company's coal
G D G
And wind up just digging your grave."
CHORUS:

"My son," he said, "don't be a miner,

You'll dig in that hole for the company's coal
G D G
And wind up just digging your grave.

Yeah, you'll dig in that hole for the company's coal
G D G Em D G
And wind up just digging your grave."
