[D]
[G] When the whistle blows each morning, and [D] I walk down that cold [G] dark night, I say pray
to my dear Savior, please [D] let me see the sunshine one [G] more time.
[C] When will it [G] be over?
[C] When will I lay these [D] burdens down?
When [G] will I die?
Dear Lord in heaven, please take [D] my soul and make that [G] cold dark ground.
I still grieve for my poor brother, and I [D] still hear my dear old [G] mother cry.
Late that night, they came and told her he lost [D] his life down in the [G] family mine.
When [C] will [G] it be over?
[C] When will I lay these [D] burdens [B] down?
When [G] will I die?
Dear Lord in heaven, please take [D] my soul and make that [G] cold dark ground.
[D]
[G] I have no shame, I feel no sorrow, if on this [D] earth not my [G] child.
I have the love of my sweet children, and old [D] plow mules, shovel, and [G] day hoe.
[C] When will it be [G]
over?
[C] When will I lay these [D] burdens down?
When [G] will I die?
Dear Lord in heaven, please take [D] my soul and make that cold [G] dark ground.
When will I die?
Dear Lord in heaven, please take [D] my soul and make that [G] cold dark ground.
