Lyrics

i won't see you `till christmas, i breathe coal dust, i get blisters, but the foreman he don't worry, he say work boy there's no hurry, don't that big red sun, look a lot like fire, when you come out of the ground, after forty eight hours, going down down down down down, going down in durban deep, going down down down down down, there's no mercy in my sleep, i just hear that drill and hammer, i feel the killing heat, going two miles down to the heart, of durban deep, i was born on amen corner, i pound rock face, i get lonely, but my family they go hungry, sill the boss man he call us lazy, don't the old blue heaven, look a lot like your eyes, when you're blinded by the brightness, of the transvaal sky
