Verse::
     C majorC
When the whistle blows each morning
   G7G7             C majorC
And I walk down in that cold dark mine
    C majorC
I say a prayer to my dear savior
       G7G7             C majorC
please let me see that sun shine one more time


Chorus::
FF            C majorC
when oh when will it be over
   FF            G+G
When will I lay these burdens down
      C majorC
And when I die, dear Lord in heaven
       G7G7               C majorC
Please take soul from 'neath that cold dark ground

Verse::
    C majorC
I still grieve for my poor brother
      G7G7           C majorC
and I still hear my dear old mother cry
     C majorC
Late that night they came and told her
      G7G7            C majorC
he lost his life down in the van leer mine


Chorus::
FF            C majorC
when oh when will it be over
   FF            G+G
When will I lay these burdens down
      C majorC
And when I die, dear Lord in heaven

Please take soul from 'neath that cold dark ground


Verse::
     C majorC
I have no shame, I feel no sorrow
    G7G7        C majorC
If this earth, not much I own
      C majorC
I have the love of my sweet children
      G7G7          C majorC
An old plow mule, a shovel and a hoe


Chorus::
FF            C majorC
when oh when will it be over
   FF            G+G
When will I lay these burdens down
      C majorC

Please take soul from 'neath that cold dark ground

Yeah when I die, dear Lord in heaven
