Coal Man Blues lyrics

I get up early in the morning : sweet mama and I comb and curry my horse Because I don't want nobody : not to *see my pause* Then I goed up to the coal pile : get me a friend to buy some coal Then I get on my wagon : *then I'm a coal‑traveling snow* *I ought to tell how much* for coal : thirty‑five cents a bag And if you want to know my name : just look around on my sack I got on my wagon : trying my best to sell my coal My baby's back home : serving my jellyroll Now a lot of your women : ought to be put in jail Some standing on the corner : trying to get themselves in jail
