Judy Collins - Coal Tattoo текст песни

Текст песни Coal Tattoo - Judy Collins



Travelin' down that coaltown road
Listen to my rubber tires whine
Goodbye to Buckeye and White Sycamore
I'm leavin' you behind
Oh, I've been a coal man all my life
Layin' down track in the hole
Got a back like an ironwood bent by the wind
Blood veins blue as the coal
Blood veins blue as the coal
Somebody said, "That's a strange tattoo
You have on the side of your head"
I said, "That's the mark of the number nine coal
A little more and I'd be dead"
Oh, but I love the rumble and I love the dark
I love the cool of the slate
But it's goin' down that new road, lookin' for a job
This travelin' and lookin' I hate
This travelin' and lookin' I hate
I've stood for the union, walked in the line
Fought against the company
I've stood for the U. M. W. of A.
Now who's gonna stand for me?
Well, I got no home and I got no pay
Just got a worried soul
And this blue tattoo on the side of my head
Left by the number nine coal
Left me by the number nine coal
Someday, when I die and go
To heaven, the land of my dreams
I won't have to worry on losin' my job
To bad times and big machines
Well, I got no job and I got no pay
Just got a worried soul
And this blue tattoo on the side of my head
Left by the number nine coal
Left by the number nine coal
