must take in life.
For he who falls in love with the wrong woman
Shall find all he’s worked for belongs to his wife.
THE COAL MINER
Coal mines in my daddy’s day
Were dug with strong hands and back.
They got larger and deeper
As the lungs of the miners turned black.
Cave-ins, fires and explosions
Were my father’s daily fear.
But what choice has a man
When the wolf of hunger is near.
With three small kids and a wife
There were five stomachs to fill.
As we lived in poverty
In our shack below a hill.
I feel his blood within me
As the years of my life pass by
I’m proud that dad dug King Cole
For a miner so am I.

Though it’s thorns can make me cry.

To my Lord I will not lie.
In cold earth someday I’ll sleep
With a shinny stone above.
Carved in it, shall be the words
I have known the joy of love.

Was teased by Bathsheba and driven to sin.

I feel like a blind man who’s lost in a mine.
Lord, I’m a sad soul with no hand to hold
Searching for someone who’ll love me when
