Blesséd assurance, Jesus is mine Oh what a foretaste of glory divine
(That is one good hymn, musically speaking, and it reminds me of where I got some of my vocabulary as a kid-18th and 19th century hymn texts that said things like "Heir of salvation, purchase of God; born of his spirit, washed in his blood..." Yeah. I wish I still believed, for musical-emotional-arousal purposes. A wooden floor and a loud piano and an organ and 150 singers...)
- Monkey Puzzle covered it in a medley they sang with the Coal Mine song that Sandra posted. I just looked it up and I think the Cowboy Junkies wrote this one.
I keep my pants up with a piece of twine I keep my eyes wide open all the time I keep (something) out for the tie binds They say you're mine, and pull the twine
-Roger Miller, to the tune of "I walk the line" by Johnny Cash. He sang it on the Johnny Cash show

You were kinda sorta my best friend

I been a-workin' in a coal mine
Goin' down, down, down
My best friends girlfriend
She used to be mine

She's so... fine

Baby mine, don't you cry
Baby mine, dry your eyes
Rest your head next to my heart
Never to part
Baby of mine

Oh Mistress mine where are you roaming
Oh stay and hear, your true love's coming
That can sing both high and low
A song from Shakespeare's time
Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines
It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mines
(I know it by Johnny Cash, but it's older than that.)
Workin' in a coal mine
Goin' down, down, down
Workin in a coal mine
Whoop! about to slip down...

Someday you will die
But I'll be close behind
I'll follow you into the dark

I hope it will be mine

I meant protectors
