Prayer of a Miner's Child-Dock Boggs
Banjo, f#DGAD tuning

He's just an old coal miner, Lord, that's all he's ever been
He's worked his life away in the mines with all the other men

SOLO

So keep him safe and be with him, when he goes in that mine
And also help him stay away from the unemployment line

SOLO

Stay by his side in all he does, he's a-gettin' tired, You know
His hair, it changed its color fast, and his age is begin to show

SOLO

I know someday he'll leave this earth, and I will stay behind
But when he leaves, I hope it's not caused by that old coal mine

SOLO

I want the very best for him, I don't want him to be sad
Because, Dear Lord, I think you know, this coal miner is my Dad
