From Breathing Bad Air

from Pioneer by Pioneer

about

From the 1976 documentary, Harlan County, USA. A retired coal miner sang these lines to open the documentary.

lyrics

For forty-two years
Is a mighty long time
I labored untold
Down in a coal mine

Down in a deep hole
Where the bright lights did glow
Back in a dark room
A-spadin' up coal.

My bones they did ache me
My kneecaps got bad
Down on a hard rock
On a set of knee pads

The motors were shifting
I got sand in my hair
Both lungs were broke down
From breathing bad air.
