Careron's #5

Down to New Orleans we go, well let's think about heading down there.  It might be a little rainy down there right now. This next artist is an  African American pop/R&B singer. He was actually a quite successful boxer before he started his music career. Released as a single in 1966...

Cameron's number 5 song is...
Lee Dorsey ~ Workin' in a Coal Mine

"Workin' in a coal mine, goin' down, down, down
Workin' in a coal mine, whoop, about to slip down
Workin' in a coal mine, goin' down, down, down
Workin' in a coal mine, whoops, about to slip down
Five o'clock in the mornin', I'm all ready up and gone
Lord I am so tired, how long can this go on?
That I'm workin' in a coal mine, goin' down, down, down
Workin' in a coal mine, whoops, about to slip down
Workin' in a coal mine, goin' down, down, down
Workin' in a coal mine, whoops, about to slip down
'Cause I make all the money, hauling coal by the ton
But when Saturday goes around I'm too tired for havin' fun (Too tired for having…)
I' just workin' in a coal mine, goin' down, down, down
Workin' in a coal mine, whoop, about to slip down
Workin' in a coal mine, goin' down, down, down
Workin' in a coal mine, whoops, about to slip down"
