Get the rox in the box, get the water right down to your socksThis bulkhead's built of fallen brethren bonesWe all do what we can, we endure our fellow manAnd we sing our songs to the head frames creaks and moansAnd it's one, two, three on the wrong side of the leeWhat were you meant for? What were you meant for?And it's seven, eight, nine, you get your shuffle back in lineAnd if you ever make it to ten you won't make it againAnd if you ever make it to ten you won't make it againAnd you won't make a dime on this gray Granite Mountain MineOf dirt you're made and to dirt you will returnSo while we're living here, let's get this little one thing clearThere's plenty of men to die, you don't jump your turnAnd it's one, two, three on the wrong side of the leeWhat were you meant for? What were you meant for?And it's seven, eight, nine, you get your shuffle back in lineAnd if you ever make it to ten you won't make it againAnd if you ever make it to ten you won't make it againAnd it's one, two, three on the wrong side of the leeWhat were you meant for? Whatever you're meant forAnd it's seven, eight, nine, you get your shuffle back in lineAnd if you ever make it to ten you won't make it againAnd if you ever make it to ten you won't make it againAnd if you ever make it to ten you won't make it again
