Deep Into The Ground Lyrics

    Oh once I was a young man
    Looked over vales and hills
    Saw myself a future
    of riches and of thrills
    But on me fifteenth birthday
    I paid my union dues
    And they sent me deep into the ground

    Oh the winter wind can blow me colder
    Oh the summer's heat can parch me dry
    But I'll not leave here for a fortune
    I shall never leave here till I die

    Oh once I had a family
    Sons to make you proud
    They have gone and left me now,
    And I count the time out loud
    For now I am an old man
    Just waiting for my turn
    Till they take me back into the ground

    Oh the winter wind can blow me colder
    Oh the summer's heat can parch me dry
    But I'll not leave here for a fortune
    I shall never leave here till I die

    Oh the winter wind can blow me colder
    Oh the summer's heat can parch me dry
    But I'll love these dark, dark hills forever
    And I won't leave them until I die

    Oh once I loved a woman
    She meant all she world to me
    Saw ourselves a future
    As far as I could see
    But I was only forty-seven
    when they took her down from me
    And buried her deep

    BILLY
    Oh the winter wind can blow me colder
    Oh the summer's heat can parch me dry
    But I'll love these dark, dark hills forever
    And I won't leave them now until I die
