Going two miles down to the heart
Going down in Durban deep
After forty eight hours
Going down in Durban deep
I just hear that drill and hammer
Look a lot like your eyes
Look a lot like fire?
Durban
But the foreman, he don't worry
Sill the boss man he call us lazy
He say, "Work boy, there's no hurry"
Going down down down down down
Of Durban deep
I feel the killin' heat
There's no mercy in my sleep
Durban deep
(Durban)
Going down down down down down
Don't that big red sun
I just hear that drill and hammer
Of Durban deep
Going two miles down to the heart
Durban
When you're blinded by the brightness
(Durban)
Durban
I feel the killin' heat
Don't the old blue Heaven
Of the Transvaal sky
There's no mercy in my sleep
I just hear that drill and hammer
(Durban)
There's no mercy in my sleep
Going down down down down down
I pound rock face, I get lonely
D-D-Durban deep
Going down down down down down
Durban
D-D-Durban
D-D-Durban
I was born on Amen corner
D-D-Durban
(Durban)
D-D-Durban deep
But my family, they go hungry
Going two miles down to the heart
Going down down down down down
Going down in Durban deep
I feel the killin' heat
When you come out of the ground
D-D-Durban
Going down down down down down
Of Durban deep
