Durban Deep
I won't see you 'til Christmas
I breathe coal dust, I get blisters
But the foreman, he don't worry
He said, "Work boy, there's no hurry"
Don't that big red sun
Look a lot like fire?
When you come out of the ground
After forty-eight hours
Going down, down, down, down, down
Going down in Durban deep
Going down, down, down, down, down
There's no mercy in my sleep
I just hear the drill and the hammer
I feel the killin' heat
Going two miles down to the heart
Of Durban deep
I was born on Amen corner
I pound rock face, I get lonely
But my family, they go hungry
Still the boss, man, he call us lazy
Don't the old blue heaven
Look a lot like your eyes
When you're blinded by the brightness
Of the Transvaal sky?
Going down, down, down, down, down
Going down in Durban deep
Going down, down, down, down, down
There's no mercy in my sleep
I just hear the drill and the hammer
I feel the killin' heat
Going two miles down to the heart
Of Durban deep
Going down, down, down, down, down
Going down in Durban deep
Going down, down, down, down, down
There's no mercy in my sleep
I just hear the drill and the hammer
I feel the killin' heat
Going two miles down to the heart
Of Durban deep
Durban
Durban
Durban deep
Durban
Durban
Durban deep
Durban
Durban
Durban deep
Durban
Durban
Durban deep
I breathe coal dust, I get blisters
But the foreman, he don't worry
He said, "Work boy, there's no hurry"
Don't that big red sun
Look a lot like fire?
When you come out of the ground
After forty-eight hours
Going down, down, down, down, down
Going down in Durban deep
Going down, down, down, down, down
There's no mercy in my sleep
I just hear the drill and the hammer
I feel the killin' heat
Going two miles down to the heart
Of Durban deep
I was born on Amen corner
I pound rock face, I get lonely
But my family, they go hungry
Still the boss, man, he call us lazy
Don't the old blue heaven
Look a lot like your eyes
When you're blinded by the brightness
Of the Transvaal sky?
Going down, down, down, down, down
Going down in Durban deep
Going down, down, down, down, down
There's no mercy in my sleep
I just hear the drill and the hammer
I feel the killin' heat
Going two miles down to the heart
Of Durban deep
Going down, down, down, down, down
Going down in Durban deep
Going down, down, down, down, down
There's no mercy in my sleep
I just hear the drill and the hammer
I feel the killin' heat
Going two miles down to the heart
Of Durban deep
Durban
Durban
Durban deep
Durban
Durban
Durban deep
Durban
Durban
Durban deep
Durban
Durban
Durban deep
