Frank Black - Raider Man lyrics

1, 2 All my life I've been digging Polish black coal It wasn't much but you know I could play that role They laid me off and so I kept my pail And now I wade in bushes down by the rail Raider man, got no choice about it Raider man, jumpin' up there on it Raider man, gonna' take a little bit now They hired me back and traded my pail for a stick And now I chase the ones with a pail and a brick Raider man, got no choice about it Raider man, jumpin' up there on it Raider man, gonna' take a little bit now Raider man, got no choice about it Raider man, jumpin' up there on it Raider man, gonna' take a little bit now I chased my cousin, it wasn't no big deal I lost my legs when I slipped beneath the coal train wheel My cousin tries to put something in my bowl And now I wish I never left that darkened hole Raider man, got no choice about it Raider man, jumpin' up there on it Raider man, gonna' take a little bit now
