Coal Tattoo - Stella Parton[00:00:00]
Written by:Billy Edd Wheeler[00:00:01]
Travelling down this new town road[00:00:13]
Listening to my rubber tires whine[00:00:17]
Good-bye to buckeye and white sycamore[00:00:22]
I'm leaving you behind[00:00:26]
I've been a coal man all my life[00:00:30]
Laying down track in the hole[00:00:35]
Got a back like an ironwood[00:00:40]
Warped by the wind[00:00:42]
Blood veins as blue as the coal[00:00:45]
Blood veins as blue as the coal[00:00:49]
Somebody said that's a strange tattoo[00:01:02]
You have on the side of your head[00:01:06]
I said that's the blueprint left by the coal[00:01:11]
A little more and I'd be dead[00:01:15]
Well I love the rumble and I love the dark[00:01:19]
I love the cool of the slate[00:01:24]
It's going down the new road looking for a job[00:01:29]
Travelling and looking I hate[00:01:34]
Travelling and looking I hate[00:01:38]
I stood for the union and walk in the line[00:01:51]
Fought against the company[00:01:56]
Stood for the U.M.W.A.[00:02:00]
Now who's gonna stand for me[00:02:04]
I got no house and I got no job[00:02:08]
I just got a weary soul[00:02:13]
And this blue tattoo on the side of my face[00:02:18]
Left by the number nine coal[00:02:23]
Left by the number nine coal[00:02:27]
Someday when I'm dead and gone[00:02:40]
To heaven to the land of my dreams[00:02:43]
I won't have to worry by losing my job[00:02:49]
On bad times and big machines[00:02:53]
And I ain't gonna pay my money away[00:02:58]
On dues and hospital plans[00:03:02]
I'm gonna pick coal where the blue heaven's roll[00:03:07]
And sign with the angel band[00:03:12]
Yes I'll sing with the angel band[00:03:16]
