Penny Mine by Jimmy Halliday

Lyrics:

Well I work the dark shift at the penny mine

Payin’ that sentence without any crime

Rent’s up, got me workin’ overtime

Workin’ all day at the penny mine

Well the penny mine, it’s a real hot place

Incompatible with the human race

Ain’t had a day off since the canary died

Workin’ all day at the penny mine

Boss makes a million and I make a buck

But when I ask for a nickel, says I’m outta luck

Says I can get my winnin’s from the divine

Workin’ all day at the penny mine
