Down in the Mine

Down in the Mine by Catherine Palmer Paton

Down, down, down in the mine

Down in the mine below

Down, down, down in the mine

Cries the anguished soul

   Set me free from this darkness

   Set me free into the light

   Set me free from this longest, lonesome,

   Tiresome, troublin' sight

Lost under earth and stone

Lost, forsaken, alone

Far from the ones I love and

The place that I call home

    Set me free from this darkness

    Set me free into the light

    Set me free from this longest, lonesome,

    Tiresome, troublin' night

Gone are my joy and hope

Gone are the ones I love
