Who will replace this old miner?
[Abm] Who will take my place, dear Lord?
Who will follow [B] the Trepanner?
O [E] dear God, [B] when I go,
[Abm] Who will wield my heavy pick, [B] That I did wield for forty years?
And who will hew the black, black coal?
O dear God, when I go,
[E] [B] Who will ride [E] the miner's train, [Abm] That ticks into the [B] dark coal face?
Who will take my place [E] upon that train?
[B] O dear [E] God, [Gb] when I go,
[Abm] Who will load [B] this iron tor?
Who will [E] strain his bending back?
[Abm] And who will work [B] an egg like hell?

Forty years [B] I've loved the mine, Forty years I've worked down there,
[Abm] Now who'll replace [B] this old miner?
[E] O dear God, [Gb] when I go,
[Abm] Who will wield [B] my heavy pick, That I did wield [Gb] for forty years?
[Abm] And who will hew [B] the black, black coal?
Dear God, when I go.
