Verse 1
B
F#
B
With your kind attention,
the song I will trill
On you who must toil
F#
with a pick and the drill
B
Sweat for your bread in
that hole in Oak Hill
F#
B
F#
B
That goes down, down, down
When I was a lad, says my daddy to me
Stay out of Oak Hill,
F#
take my warning, says he
B
Or with dust you'll be choked,
F#
and a popper you'll be broken down,
B
F#
B
down, down.
But I went to Oak Hill
and I asked for a job,
a mule for to drive
F#
or a gangway to rob.
B
The boss says, come out, Bill,
and follow the mob
F#
B
F#
B
that goes down, down, down.
On the strength of the job
and the tune of this rhyme
Strolled into Thames
F#
and drank twenty -five shines
B
Reported next morning half dead
F#
But on time to go down,
B
F#
B
down, down
All aboard for the bottom,
the top man did yell
We stepped in the cage
F#
and he ding -donged the bell
B
Threw that hole in Oak Hill
like a bat out
F#
B
F#
B
Hell, we went down, down, down.
She was blocked from the dish
to the knuckle with smoke.
The dust was so thick,
F#
I thought I would choke.
F#
I guess here's where I croak away down,
B
F#
B
down, down.
I groped to a gangway,
I got me a scoop.
The cot was just fired,
F#
muck heap up to the roof,
B
I scooped and I scooped
till my back looped the loop,
F#
B
F#
B
stoopin' down, down, down.
All I drew for the year was
a dollar or three,
F#
Those company store thieves
made a pumper of me,
B
But for ballads like this one
I'd have starved for a spree
F#
B
F#
B
in the town, town, town.
Toil, you butterly grey,
on my poor daddy's head,
F#
While he slaved at Oak Hill
to provide us with bread,
B
I wish I had heeded the
warning he pled,
F#
B
Don't go down, down, down,
F#
B
Don't go down, down, down.
