Lyrics

I'm just a coal miner
Ain't got no business here
Drinking fine brandy
Sippin' ??? through my beard
Congratulations
You're victims of the year
And all the nations will help you reappear

I'm just a coal miner
Ain't got no business here
...
Give me someplace to live
Congratulations
You're victims of the year
And all the nations will help you reappear

I'm just a coal miner
Ain't got no business here

I'm just a coal miner
Ain't got no business here
Drinking fine brandy
Sippin' drinks through my beard
Congratulations
You're victims of the year
And all the nations will help you reappear
