Peg Leg Howell - Coal Man Blues lyrics

Woke up this morning 'bout five o'clock Got me some eggs and a nice pork chop Cheap cigar and a magazine, had to Run pretty fast to catch the five fifteen Let me tell you something that I seen Coal man got run over by the five fifteen Cut off his arms and it crushed his ribs, did the Poor man die? No, the poor man lived Let me tell you something that I know Coal man got run over by the five forty four Cut off his arms and it crushed his head, did the Poor man die? No, the poor man's didn't Hard coal, stovewood, ma'am Hard coal and your stovewood, ma'am I ain't got but a little bit left, if you Don't come get it, gonna burn it myself Get the wood in the stove and the match in your hand Wood in the stove and the match in your hand Wood in the stove and the match in our hand You run to the door and stop to tell the coal man Sell it to the rich and I sell it to the poor Sell it to the rich and I sell it to the poor Sell it to the rich and I sell it to the poor I sell it to the nice brown a-standing in the door Furnish your wood, furnish your coal Furnish your wood and I furnish your coal Furnish your wood and I furnish your coal Make you love me, doggone your soul I've got your water, I've got your gas Got your water and got your gas Got your water and I got your gas You trick me, mama, says, that's your last Let me tell you, mama, what's the matter now Let me tell you, mama, what's the matter now Let me tell you, mama, what's the matter now You don't want me, take me anyhow Sweet mama, sweet mama, what's on your mind? Mama, sweet mama, what's on your mind? Mama, sweet mama, what's on your mind? Says, you can't quit me, no need of tryin' I'm goin' up the country don't you want to go? Goin' up the country, don't you want to go? Goin' up the country, don't you want to go? Leaving here, ain't coming back no more Me and my rider and two, three more Me and my rider and two, three more Me and my rider and two, three more We're goin' up the country don't you want to go? Went down the road, feelin' bad Went down the road, mama, feelin' bad Went down the road, mama, feelin' bad I feel so worried that ever I had Got your home Greet me, mama, and we'll Me and my brown and three or two more Goin' up the country don't you want to go? Goin' away and it won't be long Goin' away and it won't be long Goin' away and it won't be long Don't believe I'm leavin' count the days I'm gone
