lyrics

Coal Mine
(T. Wilson/S. Marriner/J.O’Brien)

Oooo
Oooo
Oooo
Oooo
Can’t hear her calling from down in this hole
Every day turns to night, every night turns cold
Don’t feel the sun, I don’t see no sign
I need relief before I lose my mind
My my baby oh my
This ain’t no holy road
Stone salvation and I’m sinking low
Diggin in this coal mine lookin for gold
My my baby come and save my soul
Diggin in this coal mine lookin for gold
Diggin in this coal mine
Oooo
Oooo
Oooo
Oooo
I see her shinin in the darkness where there ain’t no stars
No escape from love when I’m covered in scars
A foot from the gutter and a mile from hell
Diggin this hole from the day I fell
My my baby oh my
This ain’t no holy road
Stone salvation and I’m sinking low
Diggin in this coal mine looking for gold
My my baby come and save my soul
Diggin in this coal mine lookin for gold
Diggin in this coal mine
One man walks
Far from his home
But I’m a man that’s lost
Everywhere I go
Diggin in this coal mine

My my baby oh my
This ain’t no holy road
Stone salvation and I’m sinkin low
Diggin in this coal mine looking for gold
My my baby come and save my soul
Diggin in this coal mine lookin for gold
Diggin in this coal mine lookin for gold
Diggin in this coal mine
Lookin for gold
Oooo
Oooo
Oooo
Oooo
