Working in a coal mine
Working in a coal mine
Oh, I pray for better times
Oh, for better times
I can't bear this life anymore
Oh, we pray for better times
Oh, hoping for better times
We can't bear this life anymore
Oh, we pray for better times


We pray for better times
40 hours a day
Now I'm getting older
My dream seems to fade away
Yes, I'm wasting my life
For one heavy crime
All the things are turning in my mind
Working in a coal mine
40 hours a day
Oh, we pray for better times
Oh, hoping for better times
We can't bear this life anymore
Oh, we pray for better times
Oh, hoping for better times
We can't bear this life anymore
