All You Miners Lyrics

Among the broken buildings

Of a century gone by

Amidst the piles of tailings

Where the motherlodes ran dry

In the hills of Colorado

Lie the ghost towns and their mines

From Apex down to Victor

The ore was mined in piles

The ground of Central City

Would yield earth's richest mile

And the men who breathed the gold dust

They got richer all the while

All you miners

Clamoring for gold

All you left behind were holes

Be wary when the mines run deeper

Than the bottom of your soul

A mine is not a place

For a man who's weak of heart

He could dig until the end of time

Yet barely get a start

With the riches that elude him

Just tearing him apart

All you miners

Clamoring for gold

All you left behind were holes

Be wary when the mines run deeper

Than the bottom of your soul

All you miners

Clamoring for gold

All you left behind were holes

Be wary when the mines run deeper

Than the bottoms of your souls

If angels fly on gilded wings

No miner's ghost could tell

They'd never known when living

They dug themselves a hell

In the bowels of the mountains

Where forever now they dwell

Among the broken buildings

Of a century gone by

Amidst the piles of tailings

Where the motherlode ran dry

In the hills of Colorado

Lie the ghost towns and their mines

All you miners

Clamoring for gold

All you left behind were holes

Be wary when the mines run deeper

Than the bottoms of your souls

Be wary when the mines run deeper

Than the bottoms of your souls
