judy collins - coal tattoo كلمات الأغنية

travelin’ down that coaltown road,
listen to those rubber tires whine;
goodbye to buckeye and white sycamore,
i’m leavin’ you behind.
i’ve been a coal man all my life
layin’ down track in the hole,
got a back like an ironwood bent by the wind
blood veins blue as the coal.

somebody said “that’s a strange tattoo
you have on the side of your head.”
i said “that’s a blue print, left by the coal
just a little more and i’d be dead”
and i love the rumble and i love the dark
i love the cool of the slate.
but it’s on down the new road lookin’ for a job
it’s the travelin’ and lookin’ i hate.

i’ve stood for the union, walkin’ the line,
fought against the company;
stood for the u. m. w. of a.
now who’s gonna stand for me?
i got no house and i got no pay,
just got a worried soul;
and this blue tattoo on the side of my head
left by the number nine coal.

someday when i’m dead and gone
to heaven, the land of my dreams,
i won’t have to worry on losin’ my job
to bad times ‘n big machines.
i ain’t gonna pay my money away
for pensions and hospital plans.
i’m gonna pick coal where the blue heavens roll
and sing with the angel bands.
