    My first reggae song...

    Me mammy said son you got to get a job
    Your poppy can't work hes got the black lung
    Boy you head down to the mine and ask the boss man
    Is there anywhere sir where I can lend a hand?

    Oh, oh, oh, oh I said no
    Please don't you make me go
    I don't want to work no more
    Mammy I don't mind bein' poor

    But I head down to the mine, like a good son
    Me poppy cant work, there's bread to be won
    The boss man look at me and he start to laugh
    But he say he need a wheelbarrow boy, deep down the mine shaft

    Oh, oh, oh, oh I said no
    Please don't you make me go
    I don't want to work no more
    Sir I don't mind bein' poor

    Deep down in the mine its dark and its cold
    Ya everybody coughing, their lungs full of coal
    You hear the click-click-clacking of picks all around
    Everybody goes crazy so deep underground

    Oh, oh, oh, oh I said no
    Please don't you make me go
    I don't wan't to work no more
    Sir I don't mind bein' poor

    For twenty-six years I dug in the earth
    We stripped that mine of coal for all it was worth
    And when we were done they locked us inside
    And I looked upon death with my own eyes

    Oh, oh, oh, oh I said no
    Please don't you make me go
    I don't mind workin' more
    Please sir open up the mine door
