[Verse 1]
           E                  D
I've got a little black ring around my neck
           E                    A                 E  D  E
And I will sell you coal by the bushel or the keck
       E                    D
I will sell you coal by the gallon or the pound
    E                          A            E
And you don't have to look for me, I'll be around


[Chorus]
        E       D         E       A
Yelling Jellico coal man, Jellico coal man
E       D         E     D     E
Jellico coal man, coal, coal, coal

[Verse 2]
         E                    D
There is coal that's soft and coal that's hard
       E                  A             E  D  E
I will bring it around to your back yard
          E                  D
I'll have chocolate cake and apple pie
    E                   A                 E
I believe I will have a piece when I come by


[Chorus]
        E       D         E       A
I'm the Jellico coal man, Jellico coal man
E       D         E     D     E
Jellico coal man, coal, coal, coal

[Verse 3]
   E                     D
It comes direct from the Jellico mine
      E                     A          E  D  E
It'll warm your baby in the winter time
         E                        D
When the sun comes up, that's the time I start
         E                  A                E
You will see my coming with my two wheel cart


[Chorus]
        E       D         E       A
Yelling Jellico coal man, Jellico coal man
E       D         E     D     E
Jellico coal man, coal, coal, coal
E       D                 E       A
Jellico coal man, I'm the Jellico coal man
E       D         E     D     E
Jellico coal man, coal, coal, coal
E     D     E
Coal, coal, coal
E     D     E
Coal, coal, coal
