Call The Captain |
| Call up the captain tell 'em I ain’t comin' in |
| He can dig his own coal something else is happenin' |
| This living that i’m making is doin' us in |
| It’s broken the lives of too many good men |
| Been hauling coal since I was big enough to fight |
| Some 30 odd shifts without a glimpse of daylight |
| The corporation likes to say that everything’s alright |
| Dig your self a hole, get outta' sight |
| There’s a dark cloud above me that’s blocking out the sun |
| Burn another hundred coal listen to the engines run |
| One half is starving while the others having fun |
| So call the captain, call the captain, call the captain, call the captain |
| Melinda close the door |
| I ain’t going down to the mines today |
| I want clear blue skies and a whole lot more |
| I ain’t going down to the mines |
| There’s a hole in this bucket I’ve been carrying around |
| I fill it up to the top and watch it spill on the ground |
| I go down to the mines and when I come back up |
| I got nothin' to show but the sweat on my brow |
| These hills are my own flesh and bones |
| There all that I love and there all that I’ve known |
| Please don’t ask me to destroy my home |
| I’m not gonna choose between my heart and soul, so |
| Call up the Captain tell him I ain’t coming in |
| He can dig his own coal something else is happening |
| This living that making is doin' us in |
| So call the captain, call the captain,…call the captain |
| Melinda close the door |
| I ain’t going down to the mines today |
| I want clear blue skies and a whole lot more |
| I ain’t going down to the mines |
| Hear the whistle blow this mornin' |
| Hear the whistle blow today |
| Hear the whistle blow this mornin' |
| Melinda close the door |
| I ain’t going down to the mines today |
| I want clear blue skies and a whole lot more |
| I ain’t going down to the mines |
| I ain’t going down to the mines |
| I ain’t going down to the mines |
| (end solo) |
