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.
