lyrics

We're the chaingang of the damned
And we shovel the Devil's coal
WE SHOVEL THE DEVIL'S COAL

May our prayers all be heard
So the Lord can save our souls
OH LORD SAVE OUR SOULS

Through fire and through smoke
We've been working for their greed
WE'RE WORKING FOR THEIR GREED

Keep digging boys keep digging
Dig till your fingers bleed
WE'LL DIG TIL OUR FINGERS BLEED

We're 98 Souls but a million strong
98 Souls that sing this song

Heigh ho Heigh ho high ho heigh ho!

We're trapped down here below
we're slaves of the underground
WE'RE SLAVES HERE UNDERGROUND

Now the singing birds' all dead (and)
We're the lost and never found
WE'RE LOST AND NEVER FOUND

We're 98 Souls but a million strong
98 Souls that sing this song

Heigh ho Heigh ho high ho heigh ho!
