Carpenter & Clerk - Six Miles Down

Where do we go
To get the rocks
Six miles down
What have we got
Inside of our pockets
Six miles down

We don't get any pay
But we get all the girls
All our belongings
And all the boys we can carry
Just bring out the worst
Of all of our lovers in town
All of our bodies are
Covered in dirt
Six miles down
Six miles down

What is this hole but a
Grave that we dug
Six miles down
Fill it with greed or
Fill it with love
Six miles down

We'll slop all around
In the well and the wet
The coroner is O'Grady
Sever a finger they'll
Cut off your check
You'll never make more
Than a pound
But kick up a fuss and
They'll lay you to rest
Six miles down
Six miles down

Ladies they all know it's true
All we gave he gave to you

All of the diamonds
They're covered with blood
Six miles down
Me and my brothers
With rivers of mud
Six miles down

Tell me it's better
To live out your days
Tell me you're a lady
No one believes you
When you tell a lie
You make a horrible sound
I'll never hear it
Cause I'm gonna die
Six miles down
Six miles down
We will be six miles down
