Coal Miner’s Blues Lyrics by Doc & Merle Watson

Down South

0

[Verse 1]
I wake up each mornin' with the coal miner's blues
Each and every mornin' with the coal miner's blues
And sometimes I forget to sharpen these picks that I use
[Verse 2]
These are everyday blues, these mean old coal mine blues, hey
These are everyday blues, these mean old coal mine blues
Lord, that boss man is so mean but someday he'll get his dues
[Verse 3]
They are the soul blues, these mean old coal-black blues
They are the soul blues, these coal miner's blues
There's coal in my hair and there's coal in my shoes
[Verse 4]
And goodbye you soul blues, you mean old coal-black blues
Goodbye to these soul blues, these mean old coal-black blues
If I don't leave this ol' mine, my life I may lose
