Billy's first breath was the last for his mother
Dm C F
He was born on the shores of a town called Glace Bay
A# 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
A# F
His dad was a big man, he worked as a miner
Dm C F
Billy grew more to be like him each day
A# F
'Cause every boy's dream was to work with his father
C F
In the mine that ran under the bay
CHORUS:
C C7 F
"My son," he said, "don't be a miner,
C F
'Cause it's hard work and too little pay.
C F A#
You'll dig in that hole for the company's coal
F C F
And wind up just digging your grave."
A# F
Billy grew older but never grew wiser
Dm C F
Fighting and drinking his young life away
A# F
He reached for the top, but wound up on the bottom
C F
Of the mine that ran under the bay
CHORUS:
C C7 F
"My son," he said, "don't be a miner,
C F
'Cause it's hard work and too little pay.
C F A#
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
Dm C F
D cave-in at Number Eleven that day
A# F
Billy got there as his dad reached the surface
C F
In his dying words he did say:
CHORUS:
C C7 F
"My son," he said, "don't be a miner,
C F
'Cause it's hard work and too little pay.
C F A#
You'll dig in that hole for the company's coal
F C F
And wind up just digging your grave."
CHORUS:

'Cause it's hard work and too little pay.

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