Durban Deep

[Verse 1]

I won't see you until Christmas

I breathe coal dust, I get blisters

But the foreman he don't worry

He say work, boy, there's no hurry

Don't that big red sun

Look a lot like fire

When you come out of the ground

After 48 hours

[Refrain]

Going down down down down down

Going down in Durban deep

Going down down down down down

There's no mercy in my sleep

I just hear that drill and hammer

I feel the killing heat

Going two miles down to the heart

Of Durban deep

[Verse 2]

I was born on amen corner

I pound rock face, I get lonely

But my family, they go hungry

Sill the boss man he call us lazy

Don't the old blue heaven

Look a lot like your eyes

When you're blinded by the brightness

Of the Transvaal sky

[Refrain]

Going down down down down down

Going down in Durban deep

Going down down down down down

There's no mercy in my sleep

I just hear that drill and hammer

I feel the killing heat

Going two miles down to the heart

Of Durban deep

[Guitar Solo]

[Refrain]

Going down down down down down

Going down in Durban deep

Going down down down down down

There's no mercy in my sleep

I just hear that drill and hammer

I feel the killing heat

Going two miles down to the heart

Of Durban deep
