Lyrics Coal Tattoo - Remastered - The Kingston Trio
Travelin′
down
that
coal
town
road
Listenin'
to
my
rubber
tires
whine
Goodbye
to
Buckeye
and
white
Sycamore
I′m
leavin'
you
behind
I've
been
coal
miner
all
of
my
life
Layin′
down
track
in
the
hole
Gotta
back
like
an
ironwood,
bit
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
blueprint
left
by
the
coal
A
little
more
and
I′d
been
dead"
Well,
I
love
the
rumble
and
I
love
the
dark
I
love
the
cool
of
the
Slade
And
it's
on
down
the
new
road,
lookin′
for
a
job
This
travelin'
nook
in
my
head
I
stood
for
the
union
and
walked
in
the
line
And
fought
against
the
company
I
stood
for
the
U.
M.
W.
of
A
Now,
who′s
gonna
stand
for
me?
I've
got
no
house
and
I
got
no
job
Just
got
a
worried
soul
And
a
blue
tattoo
on
the
side
of
my
head
Left
by
the
number
nine
coal
Left
by
the
number
nine
coal.
Some
day
when
I'm
dead
and
gone
To
Heaven,
the
land
of
my
dreams
I
won′t
have
to
worry
on
losin′
my
job
On
bad
times
and
big
machines
I
ain't
gonna
pay
my
money
away
On
dues
or
hospital
plans
I′m
gonna
pick
coal
where
the
blue
Heavens
roll
And
sing
with
the
Angel
Band
I
ain't
gonna
pay
my
money
away
On
dues
or
hospital
plans
I′m
gonna
pick
coal
where
the
blue
Heavens
roll
And
sing
with
the
Angel
Band
