Here come the mine cars And it's damn near dawn Another shift of men, some of them my friends, comin' on Hard to imagine workin' in the mines Coal dust in your lungs, on your skin and on your mind I've listened to the speeches But it occured to me politicians don't understand The thoughts of isolation, ain't no sunshine underground It's like workin' in a graveyard three miles down Damn near a legend as old as the mines Things that happen in the pits just don't change with the times Work 'till you're exhausted in too little space A history of disastrous fears etched on your face Somebody signs a paper, every body thinks it's fine But Taft and Hartley ain't done one day in the mines You start to stiffen! You heard a crackin' sound! It's like workin' in a graveyard three miles down Yes and I've listened to the speeches But it occured to me politicians don't understand The thoughts of isolation, ain't no sunshine underground It's like workin' in a graveyard three miles down (Workin' in a graveyard three miles down...)
GSH ! Major funk-brother right there ! One of the best funk numbers ever , if not the best ! Go tryin`the cole mines You self ! I video recorded his concert in Stockholm Sweden back in 1991 myself ! I have never published it ! It belongs to me and his family and with respect to all BLM people ! Keep on pushing ! Love from a 63 year-old white seaman.
some call that 'patina' now. had on a jacket I got. guy says to me 'oh how did you get such a great patina on your leather?' uhhuh. all my records had lots of that.
Love him!
Here come the mine cars
And it's damn near dawn
Another shift of men, some of them my friends, comin' on
Hard to imagine workin' in the mines
Coal dust in your lungs, on your skin and on your mind
I've listened to the speeches
But it occured to me politicians don't understand
The thoughts of isolation, ain't no sunshine underground
It's like workin' in a graveyard three miles down
Damn near a legend as old as the mines
Things that happen in the pits just don't change with the times
Work 'till you're exhausted in too little space
A history of disastrous fears etched on your face
Somebody signs a paper, every body thinks it's fine
But Taft and Hartley ain't done one day in the mines
You start to stiffen! You heard a crackin' sound!
It's like workin' in a graveyard three miles down
Yes and I've listened to the speeches
But it occured to me politicians don't understand
The thoughts of isolation, ain't no sunshine underground
It's like workin' in a graveyard three miles down
(Workin' in a graveyard three miles down...)
Old white guy here - I love Gil ! Very similar to Bill Withers but with sharp teeth!

Go tryin`the cole mines You self !
I video recorded his concert in Stockholm Sweden back in 1991 myself !
I have never published it ! It belongs to me and his family and with respect to all BLM
people ! Keep on pushing ! Love from a 63 year-old white seaman.

Gil was eclectic!
This whitey Says what a truly GREAT MAN ..... thanks. RIGHT-ON.
Genius
Man deserves a bio-pic.
Andre3000 would be perfect
He would probably nail all the jams Gil gave us and we know he got some soul
@@styledox6879 or Common would nail playing Gil in a biopic
Lynn Peterzell, my children’s father engineered Secrets, a masterpiece. May they both Rest In Peace ✌️
He’ll get one. I’m going to executive produce it.
... ... ..Tuff!
I listen to this one while I'm playing Minecraft, lol
YOU CAN HEAR THE NEEDLE ON THE RECORD OR IS THATJUST ME?
NO I can too, its probably either an album or a45 what we had back in them good ol days,60's & 70's
+Donnamaria Olivieri Believe me, this never came out on a 45 it came from a LP. Think of those pops as scars on fine leather.
some call that 'patina' now. had on a jacket I got. guy says to me 'oh how did you get such a great patina on your leather?'
uhhuh.
all my records had lots of that.
Well the song does say, "You hear that cracking sound ..." But seriously, this album is a gem in any condition. My old copy is much worse!
maybe we're just so used to ol' school vinyl, it's
somewhat an enjoyment. doesn't bother me a whit.
GiL
first few bars are funky
I HAVE GOT TO FIND THIS ALBUM MY DAD HAD IT THEN HE LOST IT MY COUSIN GAVE ME HIS COPY AND TOOK IT BACK
