I remember the ways in the bygone days
             G                 F              G  
When we were in our prime
                                                                          F  
When us and John L give the old man hell
             G                            F                 G  
Down in the Blue Diamond Mine
                                                                                     F  
Well, the whistle blowed as the rooster crow
          G                 F                 G  
Two hours before daylight
                                                                                          F  
When a man done his best and he's earned his good rest
             G                      F                      G  
Paid seventeen dollars a night
                                                     F  
In the mines in the mines

You old black gold, you've taken my lung
                        G                    F                            G  
And your dust has darkened my home
                                                                                  F  
And now that we're old, you're turning your back
                G                            F                      G  
Where else can an old miner go
                                                                                        F  
Well, it's Algoma Block and it's Big Leather Woods
          G                              F                 G  
And now its Blue Diamond too
                                                                                                     F  
Well, the pits are all closed, better get another job
             G                            F                      G

John L had a dream, but it's broken it seems
G                         F                    G  
Mining has had it's day
                                                                             F  
But they're stripping off my mountain top
                        G                              F                      G  
And they pay me eight dollars a day
                                                                                  F  
You might get a little poke of welfare meal
     G                                    F                 G  
A little poke of welfare flour
                                                                                                F
