Miner's Prayer Lyrics

Dwight Yoakam

And when I die, dear Lord in Heaven
Please take my soul from 'neath that cold dark ground

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

When oh when will it be over
When will I lay these burdens down
And when I die, dear Lord in Heaven
Please take my soul from 'neath that cold dark ground

Yeah, when I die, dear Lord in Heaven
Please take my soul from 'neath that cold dark ground
