Loading Coal - Johnny Cash (约翰尼·卡什)

My pappy said when I was seventeen you're six feet tall

And your face is clean

And it don't look right for a boy

That old to not make a livin' loadin' coal

Loadin' coal loadin' coal

I'm a double first cousin to a dad blamed mole

Never get rich for to save my soul

And forty 'leven years a loadin' coal loadin' coal

Ain't never got acquainted with a dollar bill

And I don't ever reckon that I ever will

A dollar ain't made for a fellar

I'm told that scoops up a livin' loadin' coal

Loadin' coal loadin' coal

I'm a double first cousin to a dad blamed mole

Never get rich for to save my soul

And forty 'leven years a loadin' coal loadin' coal

I cussed everything in the mining camp from a shovel

And my pick to my carbide lamp

But I know mighty well till I grow old

I'll still be a cussin' but loadin' coal

Loadin' coal loadin' coal

I'm a double first cousin to a dad blamed mole

Never get rich for to save my soul

And forty 'leven years a loadin' coal loadin' coal

I know just as well as coal is black one of these days

The mines were strike

And I'll sit around starvin' till I'm finally told

There's a nickel more a ton for loadin' coal

Loadin' coal loadin' coal

I'm a double first cousin to a dad blamed mole

Never get rich for to save my soul

And forty 'leven years a loadin' coal

Loadin' coal

Loadin' coal

Loadin' coal

Loadin' coal

Loadin' coal
