Coalmine Lyrics

Coalmine lyrics

Shotgun houses, shanty shacks

Countin' those ties on the railroad track

Thirty-four more, it's almost time

To see my baby walking out of that



Chorus:

Coalmine, covered with dust

T-shirt tired, all muscled up

All mine, head to toe

Come on, come on, whistle, blow

I can't wait to get him home

Ain't gonna have nothing but the supper on

Gonna keep him busy 'til its time

He goes back to that coalmine



Some girls like them gussied up

wearing all that smelly stuff

To me there's nothing quite so fine

As my man standing in front of that



2nd Chorus:

Coalmine, covered with dust

T-shirt tied, all muscled up

All mine, head to toe

Come on, come on whistle, blow

Power's out, well that's all right

We'll make love by a miner's light

Gonna keep him busy 'til its time

He goes back to that coalmine



Shotgun houses, shanty shacks

Countin' those ties on the railroad track

Just two more, it's almost time

To see my baby walking out of that



3rd Chorus:

Coalmine, covered with dust

T-shirt tied, all muscled up

All mine, head to tow

Come on, come on whistle, blow

Don't want no white-collared man

Midnight, I like calloused hands

To keep me busy 'til its time

He goes back to that coalmine



I can't wait to get him home

Ain't gonna have nothing but the supper on

Power's out, well that's all right

We'll make love by a miner's light

Don't want no white-collared man

Midnight, I live calloused hands

To keep me bust 'til its time
