Putting on my wellington boots overall, boiler suit ready to face another day down the black hole to earn my pay
I loosen the ground just to fill my head to keep me from thinking of the day I dread can you get me out of this dirty black hole or have I to face, old King Coal

King Coal, down the hole King Coal, black gold King Coal, the lives he stole King Coal, it takes bold
Now I've done it, dust fills my chest I nead like a horse, that baby ***** there must be a way to get out of this mess leave it all with a little regret
No question of the comradeship no doubting our good fellowship just a doubt to why they gave our all to that old man, old King Coal
ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh
King Coal, moulds the sole King Coal, black mans hole King Coal, the men of steal King Coal, the rough deal
