chaka khan - haulin' coal lyrics
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
chorus:
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
chorus:
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 sh-r-
paving the golden road back home
i can still see the kids jumpin’ rope
but there ain’t much hope for a man
chorus:
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
