The Rankin Family - Tramp Miner lyrics

I am a tramp miner, I've been for some time now I live without light of the day In the black underground that's where I'll be found Biding my time away, Oh working my life away From here out to Timmins, I've loved all your women In the taverns I drank down my pay But I'd do it again even though it's a sin For it's better than driving the raise If you've done it you'd know what I say So I'll roll, roll with the wind Roll, roll with the wind Roll, roll with the time and the wind Then I'll find my way back home again Homesickness, heartbreak And black lung among these men run rampant As there rockin' and rollin' High ballin' this country today I am a tramp miner, I've been for some time now I live without light of the day In a hole in the ground, they'll lower me down That'll be my final pay, for working my life away So I'll roll, roll with the wind Roll, roll with the wind Roll, roll with the time and the wind Then I'll find my way back home again
