Coalminer |
| Daddy was a coalminer |
| He worked the pits all day |
| In Rock Springs, Wyoming |
| It was meant to be a stop for a day, became his home nothing |
| More I can say |
| Daddy was a part time farmer |
| He worked the field for pay |
| But he’d rather have new shoes for them horses |
| But late one day, them horses run away |
| Shouldn’t have put the shoes on that way |
| Too bad for daddy |
| Such a shame he took it all |
| So me and mom took the high road |
| But it’s not like we had a choice at all |
| Daddy was a guitar player |
| He’d play that joint all night |
| Out back in the shack the six-string was his demon |
| Maybe one day I could run away, join my dad in a band to play |
| Now it’s just me and mom here |
| We sit alone all night |
| But if you listen close you can hear my daddy playing |
| It was meant to be a stop for a day, left us here, now he’s on his way |
| Too bad for daddy |
| Such a shame he took it all |
| So me and mom, we took the high road |
| But it’s not like we had a choice at all |
| Just to bad for daddy |
| It’s such a shame he took it all |
| So me and mom took the high road |
| But it’s not like we had a choice at all |
