Down In The Coal Mine

There once was a lady coal miner
who wanted strong arms to entwine her.
So sad was her heart
when there came not a spark
to the lady so dark none could find her.

But one day she saw a young tall man.
And needed to find just one small plan
to help him to see
what a fine wife she'd be.
After thinking, then off to the mall ran.

Then coal miners filled up the big room
as the loving vows blessed bride and groom.
Men didn't see how
they had missed her. But now
waved goodbye to their own honeymoon.

The Lady denied that she had planned,
tricking him to want her heart and hand.
She let it suffice
he believed she was nice;
thanking God for perfume and a small fan.
