Fire in the Hole

Cold dark and dusty

My fingers black and crusty

My soul is broke

My back is bent

I swear this work will never end

But my lovely lady is waiting, waiting by the telephone

Can't come home gotta go

'cause baby there's a fire in the hole

The fire's gettin' hotter

Oh Lord I need some water

I lost my mind

I lost my men

I swear my work will never end

But my lovely lady is waiting by the telephone

Can't come home gotta go

'cause baby there's a fire in the hole

Coals burnin' red hot

I'm slavin' for a new boss

I take my axe

Go through the wall

Party swinging devil's ball I call

My baby's waiting, waiting by the telephone

She grabs her hat

She grabs her clothes

'cause baby there's a fire in the hole
