The Coal Mine Blues |
| I’m tired of walking down that lonesome road |
| I’m tired of walking down that lonesome road |
| It’s a mighty hard travelin' and a heavy load |
| I swing that hammer and I draw a low straight line |
| I swing that hammer and I draw a low straight line |
| It’s a 40 hour livin' for that gal of mine |
| Well the foreman asked me what would be my say |
| Oh the foreman asked me what might be my say |
| I said just a drink of water and favor on the judgment day |
| I’m tired of walking down that lonesome road |
| I’m tired of walking down that lonesome road |
| It’s a mighty hard travelin' and a heavy load |
| Well, I roll a lucky dice and draw a winning hand |
| I roll a lucky dice and draw a winning hand |
| But where my money goes, I don’t understand |
| Well, the king of Memphis, popping four bit shines |
| Well the king of Memphis, popping four bit shines |
| I’m up here in Kentucky slave to this old mine |
| Every time it thunders, I hear them sad ole taps |
| Oh every time it thunders, I hear them sad ole taps |
| And if this mountain shakes, it’s gonna fall right in my lap |
| I’m tired of walkin' down that lonesome road |
| I’m tired of walkin down that lonesome road |
| It’s a mighty hard travelin' and a heavy load |
