DONEGAN, LONNIE

1. In 1880 down a dusty road
/D /E /A /E
Along came a miner with a big fat load
2. He was dressed in dirt from his head to his foot
His hair was so black that it looked like soot
3. Well, he put away his load and he hitched it to the rail
And he said, "Old fellow it's the end of the trail."
4. Well, he ambled down to the old saloon
He said, "I know it's early and it ain't quite noon
/E /A /E
But, hey, hey everybody drink on me."

Take my chip and give up the mining game

Hey, hey everybody drink on me
