Three Feet Down And Dirty. (A Tribute To The Coal Miner)

about 8 years ago I started writing this song for my grandpa who was a coal miner most of his life, It took a 3 months to get the song right where I wanted. But sadly about 2 weeks before I could finish it, my grandpa died. So that inspired me to go get it professionally recorded in Nashville TN for ALL the miners, past, present and future. And I would like to thank all of you who has ever put themself in a dangerous situation as going under ground.. and this song and video explains the best way I could think of saying Thank You... Enjoy, comment, and subscribe!! Thank you.

Thank you for this song so eloquently laid to music to continue to remind us where we came from and to be a part of history in the future for our children so they too can learn what the past was like, in case, God forbid our coal mining be taken away from us. I personally don't look for that to happen, but if our current administration has their way it seems it is a possibility. :-( Thank you again for this Beautiful song, God's Blessings to you!

@mtnmama67 Thank you, Thats the exact intent of the song. many miners are following in one of their hero's foot-steps whether it father or other family members. This song is a musical portrat of so many peoples life's. Glad you like it.. Thank you for your comment. God Bless!!..

i have never really thought of the miners who get the coal and after reading the comments above ^ i realize that there are people down there trying to earn a living, and the great dangers that they come close to, and that they all have worried families at home...well to the miners- good luck, and may god be with you :3

@TheCh4rd Thanks for the comment, Your right, People who arent involved with the mining industry or havnt lived the life of a miner or their familys sometimes dont realize what the chance they take every day. They so much deserve to be recognized for what they do everyday. If this song can bring attention to that then I've accomplished more than I could have ever hoped for God Bless you and Yours and thanks agian!!!

Thanks for making this song and video.Me and my momma sat and listened to this and cried .My daddy is a coal miner and its everyday we thank him for going down in that dark damp hole to make a living for us . Coalminers are a special breed of men and God Bless them all. We pray for all the coalminers families that lost their own.

Love the song!!! I mine in IN underground love it and will do it till the day I die. Hardest work I have ever done in my life but pays the bills. I will say its not for everybody. Its a rare breed of people that can do this work and glade to be part of that breed.

And much respect to the coal miners and there families that have died.

I am a coal miner and I would like to say Thank You. Keep up the good work.

I wasn't born when my father was a coal miner but when I was old enough to understand the fact that I was "Born a coal miners daughter" it was a title I wore with much pride. I understood and respected the level of danger that our miners went into every morning, noon, and night in order to provide a living for their families and to keep the lights on for our great Mountain State, as beautiful and majestic as she is.
