Or for any length of time, I can hold it in my mind,

       D                           G                 D
At the age of sixteen years, oh he quarrels with his peers,
                                   A
Who vowed they'd never see another one,
       D                                  G               D
In the dark recess of the mine, Where you age before your time, and
    D              A             D
The coal dust lies heavy on your lungs.
