Dryden Mine
From Nanticoke to Carbondale
You cannot find a bigger name
You can sell your share of daylight
For a fair and steady wage
Some our rough and some are reckless
Some are rude and some are kind
But not a man who stands among us
Would leave another man in the mine
And it's no sir, I don't mind working in the darkness
The eyes of a blind man ain't looking for the light
And it's no sir, I don't mind working in the darkness
As long they will keep me on
I'll work the Dryden Mine
Well they call me young Blind Bennie
And my brother, he is Tom
I work the door to let the cars by
I can hear them come along
There's a doctor in the city
Who could make my sight return
So me and Tom are holding on
To every penny that we earn
And it's no sir, I don't mind working in the darkness
The eyes of a blind man ain't looking for the light
And it's no sir, I don't mind working in the darkness
As long they will keep me on
I'll work the Dryden Mine
Well our father came before us
From the country of our birth
Come to find a life and prosper
Trying to prove to God his worth
And it's no sir, I don't mind working in the darkness
The eyes of a blind man ain't looking for the light
And it's no sir, I don't mind working in the darkness
As long they will keep me on
I'll work the Dryden Mine
You cannot find a bigger name
You can sell your share of daylight
For a fair and steady wage
Some our rough and some are reckless
Some are rude and some are kind
But not a man who stands among us
Would leave another man in the mine
And it's no sir, I don't mind working in the darkness
The eyes of a blind man ain't looking for the light
And it's no sir, I don't mind working in the darkness
As long they will keep me on
I'll work the Dryden Mine
Well they call me young Blind Bennie
And my brother, he is Tom
I work the door to let the cars by
I can hear them come along
There's a doctor in the city
Who could make my sight return
So me and Tom are holding on
To every penny that we earn
And it's no sir, I don't mind working in the darkness
The eyes of a blind man ain't looking for the light
And it's no sir, I don't mind working in the darkness
As long they will keep me on
I'll work the Dryden Mine
Well our father came before us
From the country of our birth
Come to find a life and prosper
Trying to prove to God his worth
And it's no sir, I don't mind working in the darkness
The eyes of a blind man ain't looking for the light
And it's no sir, I don't mind working in the darkness
As long they will keep me on
I'll work the Dryden Mine
