King Coal |
Pulling on my wellington boots |
Overalls, boiler suit |
Ready to face another day |
Down the black hole to earn my pay |
Illusions of granddads, they fill my head |
To keep me from thinking of the day I dread |
Can you get me out of this dirty black hole |
Or I have to face, old King Coal |
King Coal, down the hole |
King Coal, black gold |
King Coal, the lives he stole |
King Coal, he takes all |
Now I’ve done it, dust fills my chest |
I heave like a horse that gave his all |
There must be a way to get out of this mess |
Leave it all with a little regret |
No question of the comradeship |
No doubting our good fellowship |
Just a doubt to why we gave our all |
To that old man, old King Coal |
King Coal, moulds the soul |
King Coal, black mans hole |
King Coal, the men of steal |
King Coal, the rough deal |
Illusions of grandkids, they fill my head |
To keep me from thinking of the day I dread |
Can you get me out of this dirty black hole |
Or have I to face, old King Coal |
King Coal, down the hole |
King Coal, black gold |
King Coal, the lives he stole |
King Coal, he takes all |
King Coal, moulds the soul |
King Coal, black mans hole |
King Coal, the men of steal |
King Coal, the rough deal |
