Workin' in a coal mine
Goin' down down down

Whop! about to slip down

Music & Lyrics by Allen Toussaint and Lee Dorsey.
"... Dorsey's best-known song, the irresistible "Working in a Coalmine" (which he co-wrote with Toussaint). With its clanking sound effects and Dorsey's comic exclamations, "Working in a Coalmine" became his second Top Ten pop hit and signature song, and Dorsey toured internationally with the Meters backing him up." Allmusic
A dispetto dell'allegro motivetto, che guadagnò al brano la vetta delle classifiche discografiche, "Workin' In A Coal Mine" è una canzone sulla "guerra" del lavoro: "But when Saturday goes around.. I'm too tired for havin' fun... Lord I am so tired
How long can this go on?"
