Loadin' Coal Songtext

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