lyrics

My Father was a miner
Never saw the light of day
Every morning took a ride into Hell on the Henry Clay
He said son you’re comin’ with me
You gotta earn earn your way
I’ve been a breaker boy ever since and will be ’til my dyin’ day

Its not like we had any choice
Come on we’re gonna make some noise
We’re tough coal crackers
Here come the Breakers Boys

Fire up the lamps
10 hours in the hole
Day after day in the cave and we’re breakin’ coal
When they blow the whistle
And they pull us up the shaft
We’ll belly up to Kelly's bar and pour down some lager draft

Here come the Breakers Boys

2 bucks aint a living
The dead are lined up on the yard
Can’t even buy a cigarette while the boss is smokin’ big cigars
Well we’re gonna stop the digging
And they'll put us behind bars
But we’re marching down to Lattimer to organize and get what’s ours
