I am a tramp miner, I've been for some time now
I live without light of the day
In the black underground that's where I'll be found
Biding my time away, Oh working my life away
>From here out to Timmins, I've loved all your women
In the taverns I drank down my pay
But I'd do it again even though it's a sin
For it's better than driving the raise
If you've done it you'd know what I say
*** Chorus ***
So I'll roll, roll with the wind
Roll, roll with the wind
Roll, roll with the time and the wind
Then I'll find my way back home again
{EOC}
*** Bridge ***
Homesickness, heartbreak
And black lung among these men run rampant
As there rockin' and rollin'
High ballin' this country today
{EOB}
I am a tramp miner, I've been for some time now
I live without light of the day
In a hole in the ground, they'll lower me down
That'll be my final pay, for working my life away
*** repeat Chorus ***
