Coal Boy Ben Strong Capo 3 [Verse 1]
CI am just a cFoal boy In the mines I spend my dGays. PCapa and I each moFrning Come here to eGarn our pay. AmI work at the doors of the airway Coal cars pass my wGay To the sCound of the picks and the shFovels And the fight to keep awGake.
[Chorus]
AmMama says someday we’ll be mCovin’ Some sunny southern plGace Where the cFold wind’s seldom blowin’ Not today not todGay.
[Verse 2]
I cCan hear the old mFule callin’ As she slowly picks her wGay DCown the dark and the lonely tFunnel To where I sit and wGait. I kAmnow just what she’s thinking As I open up the gGate I wCish that I was turnin’ sFoil. And I tell her I think the sGame.
[Chorus]
AmMama says someday we’ll be mCovin’ Some sunny southern plGace Where the cFold winds seldom blowin’ Not today not todGay.
[Verse 3]
I awCake in the moonlFight As I ready myself to gGo. I can smCell the leaves a-chFangin’ And I wish to see them sGo. WAmith a kiss for me and for Papa Mama speeds us on our wGay And she’ll wCait for our retFurnin’ At the ending of the dGay.
[Chorus]
AmMama says someday we’ll be mCovin’ Some sunny southern plGace Where the cFold winds seldom blowin’ Not today not todGay.
