the chad mitchell trio - coal tattoo lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
travelin’ down that coal town road listen to my rubber tires whine
goodbye to buckeye and white sycamore, i’m leavin’ you behind
oh+oh, i’ve been a coal miner all my life layin’ down track in the hole
gotta back like an ironwood bent by the wind, blood veins blue as the coal

[verse 2]
somebody said, “that’s a strange tattoo you have on the side of your head”
i said, “that’s the blue mark left by the coal, a little more and i’d been dead
oh+oh, i love the rumble and i love the dark, i love the cool of the slade
but it’s goin’ down that new road, lookin’ for a job, that lookin’ and drivin’ i hate

[verse 3]
i stood for the union, i walked in the line, i fought against the company
i stood for the umwa, now, who’s gonna stand for me?
’cause i got no job, and i got no pay just got a worried soul
and a blue tattoo on the side of my head left by the number nine coal

[verse 4]
some day when i’m dead and gone to heaven, the land of my dream
won’t have to worry on losin’ my job to hard times or big machines
’cause i got no job, and i got no pay just got a worried soul
and a blue tattoo on the side of my head left by the number nine coal, left by the number nine coal, yeah!
