Lyrics 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
