Yeah, I work down in the mines

I work hard ev'ryday

I got a woman home

Waiting to take my pay

I'm that ma-a-an, in the framer mines

She can spend my dollar on, like she can my dime



Yes, I work down in the mine

I've got a Cadillac Eight

My woman's got the job

Keepin' my bid'ness straight

I'm that ma-a-an, in the framer mines

She can spend my dollar on, like she can my dime



Now, the woman that I'm lovin'

She stand right up for me

She roll my biscuits righteous

Ev'ry night for me

I'm that ma-a-an, in the framer mine

She can spend my dollar on, like she can my dime



(harmonica & instrumental)



Hm, I work down in the mines

Shovel coal by the ton

My sweet woman out

All night on a run

I'm that ma-a-an, in the framer mines

She can spend my dollar on, like she can my dime



Now, I don't mind workin' hard

If she'll only treat me right

But if I catch her messin' 'round

It'll be to doggone tight

I'm that ma-a-an, in the framer mines

She can spend my dollar, on like she can my dime
