They Still Go Down
My daddy was a miner
Granddaddy was too
My uncle died in a rockslide
Before the rescue team got through
And they still go down
And they still go down
Into the earth
And then inside all covered with dirt
And they still go down
Down in old wide Utah
Back to Coal Creek, Tennessee
Many a man lyin' dead now
But you got to have those medals, you see
And they still go down
And they still go down
Into the earth
And then inside all covered with dirt
And they still go down
Maybe they'll find a new way to mine
You won't have to go in the ground
But there're thousands with spots on their lungs now
Who still watch their lives trickle down
And they still go down
And they still go down
Into the earth
And then inside all covered with dirt
And they still go down
And they still go down
And they still go down
Granddaddy was too
My uncle died in a rockslide
Before the rescue team got through
And they still go down
And they still go down
Into the earth
And then inside all covered with dirt
And they still go down
Down in old wide Utah
Back to Coal Creek, Tennessee
Many a man lyin' dead now
But you got to have those medals, you see
And they still go down
And they still go down
Into the earth
And then inside all covered with dirt
And they still go down
Maybe they'll find a new way to mine
You won't have to go in the ground
But there're thousands with spots on their lungs now
Who still watch their lives trickle down
And they still go down
And they still go down
Into the earth
And then inside all covered with dirt
And they still go down
And they still go down
And they still go down
