Tell God and the Devil

Seven years a miner, a mine for seven more
 No better man on earth now to loose a moutain floor
 Do load us in the chippy the trucks down every day
 No braver man on earth boys no matter what they say
 So tell god and the devil they can try
 But today is not gona be the day we die
 Don't want to see those helmed man to come to carry you
 The ground is so cold and hard above they won't even bury you
 So top top topper lightning slightly as it goes
 You better take some cover now and hide before she blows
 get those bricks and shovels of your backs
 get the rocks into the box and down the tracks
 Theres mokkers and theres skinners and nippers on the jill
 They work all day and night boys as only miners will
 Will chase rebellious copper the walls you pick and hack
 Don't worry if your digging scared, us miners get you back
 So tell God and the Devil they can try
 But today is not gonna be the day we die
 The Gods don't verture down here, the Devil lost your name
 Your life hangs in the balance on this fragile human chain
 And when your spirrits whirling the fear is yours to tame
 When you feel the darkness closing turn up your carbit flame
 And tell God and the Devil they can try
 But today is not gonna be the day we die
 So tell God and the Devil they can try
 But today is not gonna be the day we die
