seven in the morning
I happened to be in a farming and mining community . It was Winter and there was nothing to do on a farm , so by the law of necessity I went to work heaving coal . `` I stayed there a little over seven months and during that time I scarcely saw the sun . I 'd go into the tunnel at seven in the morning , take my lunch with me , and never come out until quitting time . I worked seven days in the week here too . There was n't any union and , anyway , no one seemed to think of doing differently . At first it used to worry me , that being always in the dark .
