There is a little coal
mine sitting out of the way
But there won't be any miners working there today
Some coal company big shot shut the mines down
And all that's left are some holes in the ground
There is a little coal mines sitting out of the way
Where miners worked and labored for their pay
But the coal company wanted more worker control
And said to all coal miners: "Now you must go!"
There is a little coal mines sitting out of the way
Where the hopes and dreams of many went astray
Some company big shot just had to prove his might
Is it any wonder then why workers go out on strike?
