I think of this song everytime a mine collapses somewhere. Oh, Imma gonna go to hell when I die, Imma gonna go to hell when I die...

@cavemaster100 That was said to keep the censors from banning it from the radio... it was 1971. First there's the line, "God what did we do?' Seriously, why would anyone be angst-ridden over eating a donkey. And a donkey named Timothy... or 'Tim' as he refers to him later. And "Water enough to drink for two," Like if you're trapped in a mine you're going to share your water with a donkey?
