Loading Coal

[02:51.90] My pappy said when I was seventeen you're six feet tall and your face is clean
[02:57.47] And it don't look right for a boy that old to not make a livin' loadin' coal
[03:03.78] Loadin' coal loadin' coal I'm a double first cousin to a dad blamed mole
[03:09.11] Never get rich for to save my soul and forty 'leven years a loadin' coal loadin' coal
[03:18.17] Ain't never got acquainted with a dollar bill and I don't ever reckon that I ever will
[03:24.50] A dollar ain't made for a fellar I'm told that scoops up a livin' loadin' coal
[03:30.85] Loadin' coal loadin' coal...
[03:44.34] I cussed everything in the mining camp from a shovel and my pick to my carbide lamp
[03:57.95] But I know mighty well till I grow old I'll still be a cussin' but loadin' coal
[04:04.27] Loadin' coal loadin' coal...
[04:25.97] I know just as well as coal is black one of these days the mines were strike
[04:31.54] And I'll sit around starvin' till I'm finally told
[04:34.27] There's a nickel more a ton for loadin' coal
[04:37.87] Loadin' coal loadin' coal...
