Coal Mountain Blues (Sonny Scott) Oh, I went on Coal Mountain, saw the men pullin' coals from the mine; Lord, I went on Coal Mountain, saw the men pullin' coals from the mine; I saw the men wearin' their mine lamps where all the lights did shine. Lord, I went to the mine foreman, told him I need a job mighty bad, Lord, I went to the mine foreman, told him I need a job mighty bad, But he said, You have to go up to de doctor, and, boy, you sure won't pass. Lord, I left that mining section, went towar' a seashore town, Lord, I left that mining section, went towar' a seashore town, I believe I've got the TB, I'm gonna jump overboard and drown. Lord, I've seen a seagull flying, baby, over my wat'ry grave, Lord, I've seen a seagull flying, baby, over my wat'ry grave, And it seemed to say that you goin' away to stay. from Only a Miner, Green apr00
