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

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