[00:00.00]Miner's Prayer - Dwight Yoakam
[00:05.01]When the whistle blows each morning
[00:09.98]And I walk down in that cold dark mine
[00:14.22]I say a prayer to my dear Savior
[00:18.77]Please let me see the sunshine one more time
[00:22.65]Chorus:
[00:22.96]When oh when will it be over
[00:27.86]When will I lay these burdens down
[00:32.29]And when I die dear Lord in heaven
[00:36.78]Please take my soul from 'neath that cold dark ground
[00:41.55]I still grieve for my poor brother
[00:45.70]And I still hear my dear old mother cry
[00:50.04]When late that night they came and told her
[00:55.20]He'd lost his life down in the Big Shoal Mine
[00:59.22]Chorus:
[00:59.45]When oh when will it be over
[01:03.94]When will I lay these burdens down
[01:07.81]And when I die dear Lord in heaven
[01:12.25]Please take my soul from 'neath that cold dark ground
[01:16.83]I have no shame I feel no sorrow
[01:29.84]If on this earth not much I own
[01:33.20]I have the love of my sweet children
[01:38.80]An old plow mule a shovel and a hoe
[01:43.44]Chorus:
[01:43.66]When oh when will it be over
[01:48.06]When will I lay these burdens down
[01:52.07]And when I die dear Lord in heaven
[01:56.53]Please take my soul from 'neath that cold dark ground
[02:00.94]Yeah when I die dear Lord in heaven
[02:05.68]Please take my soul from 'neath that cold dark ground
