Camp Bird Mine Lyrics - Singles - C.w. Mccall

(C.W. McCall, Bill Fries, Chip Davis) 

'Way out in Colorado 

In the Camp Bird Mine 

Down deep in the darkness 

On level nine 

Where the water trickles 

An' your blood runs cold 

There's a lonesome miner 

Still lookin' for gold 

He's way down deep... 

In the Camp Bird Mine 

He never sees the snowfall 

Never knows the spring 

'Cause its eternal midnight 

Where he does his thing 

He never feels the sunlight 

Doesn't need the moon 

He's had his lamp a-burnin' 

Since 'ninety-two 

He's way down deep... 

In the Camp Bird Mine 

Way down deep... 

Way down deep... 

Way down deep... 

Way down... 

In the Camp Bird Mine 

They say you never see 'im 

You just know he's there 

But you can hear his hammer 

In the devil's lair 

Where the silver sparkles 

An' your blood runs cold 

There's a phantom miner 

Still lookin' for gold 

He's way down deep 

In the Camp Bird Mine 

Way down deep... 

Way down deep... 

Way down deep... 

Way down deep... 

In the Camp Bird Mine
