Miner's life is like a sailor's aboard a ship to cross the waves.
Every day his life's in danger. Still he ventures being brave.
Watch the rocks:they're falling daily. Careless miners always fail.
Keep your hand upon the dollar and your eye upon the scale.

They invented a new machine: prettiest thing I ever seen.
Throw away my peg, my peg and awl!
Pegs a hundred pair to my one ... peg and awl

Well, a little girl sits down by the Christmas tree lights to play the piano, so you gotta keep quiet.
To hear all this fun you would not realize that the copper-boss thug-men are milling outside
The copper-boss thugs stuck their heads in the door. One of them yelled and he screamed, "There's a fire!"
