[00:16.81]Travelin' down that coaltown road,
[00:19.97]Listen to my rubber tires whine;
[00:23.40]Goodbye to Buckeye and White Sycamore
[00:26.74]I'm leavin' you behind.
[00:30.19]Oh I've been a coal man all my life
[00:34.12]Layin' down track in the hole,
[00:37.27]Got a back like an ironwood bent by the wind
[00:40.61]Blood veins blue as the coal.
[00:44.08]Blood veins blue as the coal
[00:55.32]Somebody said "That's a strange tattoo
[00:58.11]You have on the side of your head."
[01:01.72]I said "That's a mark of the No.9 coal
[01:05.62]A little more and I'd be dead"
[01:08.67]However I love the rumble and I love the dark
[01:12.61]I love the cool of the slate.
[01:15.64]But it's going down that new road lookin' for a job
[01:19.07]It's the travelin' and lookin' I hate
[01:22.25]It's the travelin' and lookin' I hate.
[01:33.19]I've stood for the union, walkin' the line,
[01:36.44]Fought against the company;
[01:39.90]I Stood for the U. M. W. of A.
[01:43.15]Now who's gonna stand for me?
[01:46.46]Well I got no home and I got no pay,
[01:50.42]Just got a worried soul;
[01:53.82]And this blue tattoo on the side of my head
[01:57.42]Left by the number nine coal.
[02:01.08]Left by the number nine coal.
[02:18.48]Someday when I'm dead and go
[02:21.38]To Heaven, the land of my dreams,
[02:24.98]I won't have to worry on losin' my job
[02:28.44]To bad times 'n' big machines.
[02:31.94]Well I got no job and I got no pay,
[02:35.66]Just got a worried soul;
[02:39.00]And this blue tattoo on the side of my head
[02:42.73]Left by the number nine coal
[02:46.44]Left by the number nine coal.
