Brownie Mcghee Coal Miner Blues Lyrics

Coal Miner Blues Lyrics

I'm just a poor coal loader, I'm diggin' deep down in the mine

I'm just a
poor coal loader, diggin' deep down in the mine

Well the harder I work
for my woman, she treats me so unkind



Now I'm gettin' tired of
workin', cause I believe I've got a hunch

I'm gettin' tired of workin,
cause I believe I got a hunch

Lord I had to go into the mine, with
cornbread in my lunch



Sometimes I call my woman, call her 'bout
five o'clock

Sometimes I call my woman, call her 'bout five o'clock

I'm goin' down into the mine, severin' that coal from the rock



Play it! Mmm, I work from sun to sun

Mmmm, I work from sun to sun

I'm talkin' about a hard minin' man, cause his work is never done



There's one thing about a coal miner, guess you women don't understand

One thing about a coal miner, you women don't understand

Seem like you
wanna mistreat him, cause he's a coal minin' man
