The classic folk song about the misery of the kentucky coal mines recorded first in 1946 by Merle Travis.

I first heard a version of this back in the 80's at Legends nightclub (Warrington uk) indie disco night aged 18. I think it shaped my attitude to work from that day to this.
So for all the monday morning miserable workers out there, this one is for you with sympathy, and some good advice given to me by an old coal miner from my home town whose lungs were full of coal dust and whose eyes were rheumy with a lifetime of workng down t'pit. 'Son, don't work hard, work smart.'
comments, rating and suggestions appreciated thanks.
(i seem to be having trouble with audio sync in windows movie maker so if anyone can recommend another editor i'd appreciate it.)
