Fire in the Hole Lyrics

Cold dark and dusty
My fingers black and crusty
My soul is broke
My back is bent
I swear this work will never end
But my lovely lady is waiting, waiting by the telephone
Can't come home gotta go
'cause baby there's a fire in the hole

The fire's gettin' hotter
Oh Lord I need some water
I lost my mind
I lost my men
I swear my work will never end
But my lovely lady is waiting by the telephone
Can't come home gotta go
'cause baby there's a fire in the hole

Coals burnin' red hot
I'm slavin' for a new boss
I take my axe
Go through the wall
Party swinging devil's ball I call
My baby's waiting, waiting by the telephone
She grabs her hat
She grabs her clothes
'cause baby there's a fire in the hole
