Loading Coal

G                        Em
My pappy said when I was seventeen
C                            G
You're six feet tall and you face is
 clean
G                             C  
And it don't look right for a boy
      G
 that old
G                    Em
To not make a livin' loading coal


CHORUS:
Em      G
Loading coal loading coal
G     C                     
I'm a double-first cousin to a 
   G
dad-blamed mole
G                     C       G
Never get rich for to save my soul
G                         Em     
And forty-eleven years of loading
      D       G
 coal loading coal

G                                 
Ain't  never  got  aquainted  with
   Em
 a dollor  bill
C                       G
And I don't ever reckon that I ever 
will
G                         C      
A dollar ain't made for a fellow 
    G
I'm told
G                       Em
That scoops up a livin' loading coal

G                          Em
I cussed everything in the mining 
camp
C                                
From my shovel and my pick to my 
G
carbide lamp
G                       C        
But I know just as well when I 
   G
grow old
G                           Em
I'll still be a cussin' but loading 
coal

VERSE:
G                      Em
I know just as well as coal is Black
C                     G
One of these days the mines will 
strike
G                                
And I'll sit around starving til 
C           G
I'm finally told
G                               
There's a nickel more a ton for 
Em
loading coal

G
Loading coal, Loading coal,
