The Rope Song Lyrics

The song The Rope Song is performed by Devo .

Well, I been workin' in a coalmine
Goin' down, down, workin' in a coalmine
Whew, about to slip down

Five o' clock in the mornin'
I'm up before the sun
When my work day is over
I'm too tired for havin' fun

Lord, I am so tired
How long can this go on?

I been workin', goin' workin'
Whew about to slip down
