4 = blow hole 4-4 = draw hole 4’ = bend
Trav-lin' down that coal-town road,
Lis-ten to my rub-ber tires whine;
Good-bye to Buck-eye and White Syc-a-more
I'm leav-in' you be-hind.
Oh I've been a coal man all my life
Lay-in' down tracks in the hole,
Got a back like an iron-wood
bent by the wind
Blood veins blue as the coal.
Blood veins blue as the coal.
