Miner Lyrics - Clifford T Ward

He's in a very bad way 

Someone will tell his wife 

They'll run and fetch the doctor 

To try and save his life. 

He was the underground man 

A slave to rock and mud 

The self appointed cave man 

The nation's life blood. 

He did not own a mansion 

He drove not limousine 

His requirements were few to 

Make more amenable the seam. 

The rain has washed his body 

Laid out in surface light 

They'll run and fetch the curate 

To try and put things right.
