They Still Go Down (Dick Weissman) as sung by Dick Weissman Daddy was a miner Granddaddy was too Uncle died in a rock slide Before the rescue team got through And they still go down And they still go down Into the earth And inside All covered with dirt And they still go down Over in Nowhite in Utah Down in Coalcreek Tennessee Many of men lying dead there 'Cause we've got to have those medals you see Maybe they'll find a new way to mine We won't have to go in the ground But there's thousands with spots on their lungs now Who sit and watch their life triggle down They Still Go Down (Dick Weissman) as sung by Gram Parsons My daddy was a miner Granddaddy was too My uncle died in a rock slide Before the rescue team got through And they still go down And they still go down Into the earth And then inside All covered with dirt And they still go down Down in Nowhite in Utah Back Coalcreek Tennessee Many of men lying dead now But we've got to have those medals you see Maybe they'll find a new way to mine You won't have to go in the ground But there's thousands with spots on their lungs now Who still watch their life triggle down |
