When the work is done and the livin's easy

I reside to my life so breezy

Think of all the troubles overcome



But I don't suppose that you'll ever see me

Angered by your love so squeeze me

I propose to fight for what is mine

Cause I'll…take you back again



He's a miner's son he stole my true love

Tempted her with freckled fortunes

Now I have to show her what is more



With a ring in hand and a book of verses

I climbed through her crooked bedroom

Greeted by a miner's crooked leg

Cause I'll…take you back again

Yes, I…need her once again



Dusting off my old blue coat

I wander in a midnight dream

And I guess there's no telling me

That I…won't ever have her back again

No, I…won't have her back again
