Coal TattooTravelling on down that coal town roadListen to my rubber tires whine Goodbye to buckeye and white sycamore I'm leaving you behind Oh, I've been a coal miner all my life Laying down track in a hole Got a back like ironwood, bent like the wind Blood veins as blue as the coal Blood veins as blue as the coal Well, somebody said, that's a strange tattoo You have on the side of your head I said, that's a blue mark left by the coal Little more and I'd a been dead Oh, I love the rumble and I love the dark Lord, I love the cool of the slate But it's going down that new road looking for a job Travelling and looking I hate Travelling and looking I hate Some day when I'm dead and gone To Heaven the land of my dreams I won't have to worry 'bout losing my job To bad times and big machines Oh, I got no house Lord, I got no job Just a worried soul And a blue tattoo on the side of my head Left by the number nine coal Left by the number nine coal |
