The Roys

The Roys - Coal Minin' Man lyrics

rate me

Written By: Lee Roy, Matthew Rogers

Well his morning starts before the suns out

And he’s lucky if he sees it rise

Cause that deep dark hollar that he goes down

To earn a dollar is dark as night

Yeah he’s a coal, coal minin’ man

Just like his dad and his dad before him

Yeah he’s a coal, coal minin’ man

Works with his hands, breaks his back

His lungs are black

That coal minin’ man

Well that boss man he’s always screamin’

And it echos through the mine

So that coal man takes out his frustrations

With a stick of good old dynamite

Yeah he’s a coal, coal minin’ man

Just like his dad and his dad before him

Yeah he’s a coal, coal minin’ man

Works with his hands, breaks his back

His lungs are black

That coal minin’ man

After 12 long hours of working

Yeah he’s hurtin’ but he don’t complain

He just goes on home to his woman

And she makes everything okay

He’ll catch some sleep, then head out the next day

Cause he’s a coal, coal minin’ man

Just like his dad and his dad before him

Yeah he’s a coal, coal minin’ man

Works with his hands, breaks his back

His lungs are black

That coal minin’ man
