Mining For Gold Lyrics - The Trinity Session - Cowboy Junkies

We are miners, hard rock miners 

To the shaft house we must go 

oil bottles on our shoulders 

We are marching to the slow 

On the line boys, on the line boys 

Drill your holes and stand in line 

'til the shift boss comes to tell you 

You must drill her out on time 

Can't you feel the rock dust in your lungs? 

It'll cut down a miner when he is still young 

Two years and the silicosis takes hold 

and I feel like I'm dying from mining for gold
