Down to the bottom
Hello, is there anybody else here?
It's cold and I'm so lonely
Hello, is there anybody else here?

Hello, won't you throw me down a life line?
I'm so afraid of darkness
And down here, it's just like night time

Blues are all around me
Hello, will you please send down a life line?

Down and there isn't any hope for me
Unless this dream which seems so real
Is just a fantasy

Can't believe this thread took off. Last time I made a "What's on your iPod?" thread about something kinda tragic, it was ridiculed and ruled dead in the water. Do people really have more sympathy for Bret Michaels than trapped miners?

Bret Michaels: what's on yr iPod?

Come and listen you fellows, so young and so fine,
And seek not your fortune in the dark, dreary mines.
It will form as a habit and seep in your soul,
'Till the stream of your blood is as black as the coal.

CHORUS:
It's dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew,
Where danger is double and pleasures are few,
Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines
It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mine.
It's a-many a man I have seen in my day,
Who lived just to labor his whole life away.
Like a fiend with his dope and a drunkard his wine,
A man will have lust for the lure of the mines.

I hope when I'm gone and the ages shall roll,
My body will blacken and turn into coal.
Then I'll look from the door of my heavenly home,
And pity the miner a-diggin' my bones.

The midnight, the morning, or the middle of day,
Is the same to the miner who labors away.
Where the demons of death often come by surprise,
One fall of the slate and you're buried alive.

Artist: Bentley Dierks
Song: Down In The Mine
Album: Up on the Ridge

---------

Here in Harlan County, the choices are few
To keep food on the table and the babies in shoes
You can grow marijuana way back in the pines
Or work for the man down in the mine

You never forget your first day in the hole
There's a pit in your stomach and your mouth's full of coal
There's no turning back once you make up your mind
As the cart rattles on down in the mine

Way down in the mine, your tears turn to mud
And you can't catch your breath for the dust in your lungs
Loading hillbilly gold where the sun never shines
Twelve hours a day, diggin' your grave
Way down in the mine

Well the old timers talk but you just don't believe
It can all go to hell at two thousand feet
Life sways in the balance of nature and time
And fate has no mercy down in the mine

The news spreads like fire and burned through those hills
Hopes were held high but five men got killed
On the wings of canaries, your soul surely flies
While your bones spend eternity down in the mine

Way down in the mine, your tears turn to mud
And you can't catch your breath for the dust in your lungs
Loading hillbilly gold where the sun never shines
Twelve hours a day, diggin' your grave
Way down in the mine

So take a flask from your crib can can and a pull of moonshine
And say a prayer for them boys down in the mine

These Chileans only listen to English language songs, I see. :-)

Beatles - Help!

The Simpsons - "We're Sending Out Love Down the Well"

(And now that we've seen footage of the miners, I'll bet they've got "I Do Believe We're Naked" by Funky See, Funky Do on their iPod too.)

Supremes: "Up the Ladder to the Roof."

And since I read somewhere that the miners may not be told how long it could take to free them:

Live Aid: "Do They Know It's Christmas?"

While they're down there, they're not working, so...

Hmm.

yeah "dark as a dungeon" (lyrics posted by xhuxk) is the ultimate answer here

merle travis also does "sixteen tons" of course

StanM they will actually be working the entire time - clearing hundreds of tons of debris that falls down from the hole that's being drilled

will they be paid overtime?

Velvets, Beginning to See the Light

Whoever posted Tom Waits forgot "Underground".

The chick who turned down one of the miner's marriage proposal before he went down and then accepted now he's up should have "gold digger" on her ipod.

Cowboy Junkies, "Mining For Gold":

Can't you feel the rock dust in your lungs?
It'll cut down a miner when he is still young
Two years and the silicosis takes hold
and I feel like I'm dying from mining for gold

We're caught in a trap/ I can't walk out...
