Coalminer - Communist Daughter

Another day in the hole

A feel my lungs fill up with coal

I go to work;

I go to bed

It’s what I do to keep you fed

It’s what my father did for me;

When you are older, you will see

All I need is to wake up

All I need is to wake up

The heart of me is in this town;

The heart of that is in the ground

Thirteen men were in this hole

But God only wants a dozen souls

To gather prayers and send them down

I’ll say these words until I’m found

All I need is to wake up

All I need is to wake up

All I need is to wake up

Know that I did all I could

To save the others, like Christians should

So, baby, it’s just my time

Walk, talk, hold your head up high

But for now …

All I need is to wake up

All I need is to wake up
