Black Country Lyrics

Here I sit in this dark black pit

Guarding the door letting the people in and out

My only friend is a candle light

So wet and cold I am shaking to the bones

Men of steel works the seam

Laying down their life's for our dream

The man all black covered in soot

Their eyes reflecting my candle light

Ponies pull their wagons out

Filled with coal that the miners have broke

Men of steel works the seam

Laying down their life's for our dream

Down down follow the ore

Through the black country soul

Flames fed by the coal

Building a nation and make us proud

Men walk through some never return

Sometimes I think it's the gate to hell

Demons dwell behind this door

Taking their lives and exchanging

Them for coal

Down down follow the ore

Through the black country soul

Flames fed by the coal

Building a nation and make us proud

Down down follow the ore

Through the black country soul

Flames fed by the coal

Building a nation and make us proud

Down down follow the ore

Through the black country soul

Flames fed by the coal

Building a nation and make us proud
