Haulin' Coal |
Steamin' down the muddy waters |
Travelin' yonder from bay to bay |
I been workin' on the barge line |
Fourteen years ago today |
Eighteen hours hard labor by the day |
Ain’t much pay for a man |
Haulin' coal down the down river |
And he won’t be comin' home for a long time |
Torches burning by the riverside |
Cast their shadows grey as stone |
And the cool October days replacing |
Much warmer thoughts of home |
I can still see grandma sittin' on the porch |
Tellin' the neighbors she’s got a grandson |
Haulin' coal down the down river |
And he won’t be comin' home for a long time |
River’s rising up the marker line |
While the willows softly moan |
Sun is rising over the starboard shore |
Paving the golden road back home |
I can still see the kids jumpin' rope |
But there ain’t much hope for a man |
Haulin' coal down the down river |
And he won’t be comin' home for a long time |
Haulin' coal down the down river |
I’ll be gone a long time |
Haulin' coal down the down river |
I’ll be gone a long while |
