Irish Song Lyrics 
from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
WORKING MAN 
It's a working man I am And I've been down underground And I swear to God if I ever see the sun Or for any length of time I can hold it in my mind I never again will go underground 
At the age of sixteen years I quarrelled with the spears Who swore that never be another one In the dark recess of the mines where you age before your time And the coal dust lies heavy on your lungs 
Chorus 
At the age of sixty-four he'll greet you at the door And gently lead you by the arm To the dark recess of the mine He'll take you back in time And tell you of the hardships that were had 
Chorus X 2
