Coalminers (Album Version) - Uncle Tupelo[00:00:00]

Written by：Jeffrey Scot Tweedy/Jay Stuart Farrar[00:00:01]

Come all you coalminers[00:00:07]

Wherever you may be[00:00:10]

And listen to the story[00:00:12]

That I relate to thee[00:00:14]

My name is nothing extra[00:00:17]

But the truth to you I tell[00:00:19]

I am a coalminer[00:00:22]

And I'm sure wish you well[00:00:25]

I was born in old kentucky[00:00:32]

In a coal camp born and bred[00:00:34]

I know about old beans[00:00:37]

Bulldog gravy and cornbread[00:00:39]

I know how the miners work and slave[00:00:41]

In the coalmines every day[00:00:44]

For a dollar in the company store[00:00:47]

For that is all they pay[00:00:50]

Mining is the most dangerous work[00:00:57]

In our land today[00:01:00]

Plenty of dirty slaving work[00:01:02]

Very little pay[00:01:04]

Coalminers won't you wake up[00:01:06]

And open your eyes and see[00:01:09]

What this dirty capitalist system[00:01:12]

Has done you and me[00:01:15]

Dear miners they will slave you[00:01:22]

'Til you can't work no more[00:01:25]

And what will you get for your labor[00:01:27]

But a dollar in the company store[00:01:30]

A tumbledown shack to live in[00:01:32]

Snow and rain pouring through the top[00:01:34]

You have to pay the company rent[00:01:38]

Your payments never stop[00:01:40]

They take our very lifeblood[00:01:47]

They take our children's lives[00:01:50]

Take fathers away from children[00:01:52]

Take husbands away from wives[00:01:54]

Coalminers won't you organize[00:01:57]

Wherever you may be[00:01:59]

And make this a land of freedom[00:02:03]

For workers like you and me[00:02:05]

I am a coalminer[00:02:12]

And I'm sure I wish you well[00:02:15]

Let's sink this capitalist system[00:02:19]

To the darkest pits of hell[00:02:22]
