Silicosis is Killing Me - Josh White
Written by：Josh White
Silicosis you made a mighty bad break of me
Silicosis you made a mighty bad break of me
You robbed me of my youth and health
All you brought poor me was misery
Now Silicosis
You're a dirty robber and a thief
Oh silicosis
Dirty robber and a thief
Robbed me of my right to live
And all you brought poor me was me
I was there diggin' that tunnel
For just six bits a day
I was there diggin' that tunnel
For just six bits a day
Didn't know I was diggin' my own grave
Silicosis was eatin' my lungs away
I says Mama Mama Mama
Cool my fevered head
I says Mama Mama
Come and cool my fevered head
I'm going to meet my Jesus
God knows I'll soon be dead
Six bits I got for diggin'
Diggin' that tunnel hole
Six bits I got for diggin'
Diggin' that tunnel hole
Takes me 'way from my baby
It sure done wrecked my soul
Now tell all my buddies
Tell all my friends you see
Now tell all my buddies
Tell all my friends you see
I'm going 'way up yonder
Please don't grieve for me
