I wont see you `till Christmas
I breathe coal dust, I get blisters
But the foreman he dont worry
He say work boy theres no hurry
Dont that big red sun
Look a lot like fire
When you come out of the ground
After forty eight hours
Going down down down down down
Going down in Durban deep
Going down down down down down
Theres no mercy in my sleep
I just hear that drill and hammer
I feel the killing heat
Going two miles down to the heart
Of Durban deep
I was born on amen corner
I pound rock face, I get lonely
But my family they go hungry
Sill the boss man he call us lazy
Dont the old blue heaven
Look a lot like your eyes
When youre blinded by the brightness
Of the Transvaal sky
