Brownie Mcghee Coal Miner Blues Lyrics

I'm just a poor coal loader, I'm diggin' deep down in the mine
I'm just a poor coal loader, diggin' deep down in the mine
Well the harder I work for my woman, she treats me so unkind

Now I'm gettin' tired of workin', cause I believe I've got a hunch
I'm gettin' tired of workin, cause I believe I got a hunch
Lord I had to go into the mine, with cornbread in my lunch

Sometimes I call my woman, call her 'bout five o'clock
Sometimes I call my woman, call her 'bout five o'clock I'm goin' down into the mine, severin' that coal from the rock

Play it! Mmm, I work from sun to sun
Mmmm, I work from sun to sun
I'm talkin' about a hard minin' man, cause his work is never done

There's one thing about a coal miner, guess you women don't understand
One thing about a coal miner, you women don't understand
Seem like you wanna mistreat him, cause he's a coal minin' man
