Six o'clock at the changehouse
The cage loaded with men
The mine is humming
It's easy to understand
They're missing their best miner
The safety crew is searching
He's coming from the train
That he was repairing
He's the man of gold
He's the man of gold
The lights have been lit
On each miner's hat
With their coveralls
They're waiting at the shaft
Asking for the man
Will they see his face
It's the faulty switch
That's held up the cage
And the man of gold
And the man of gold
Chorus
He's the man of gold
And he is the best
He's got a strong hold
And this miner takes no rest
At the end of the day
Out in the cold
We'll hear his voice
The man of gold
They're waiting on the surface
Where they'll see his light
They're waiting for his badge
And to wave him good night
They're intent on pushing us
And the new tech began
And they take his bonus
And they know he's a good man
The man of gold
The man of gold
(Repeat Chorus)
