[00:00:00] Coalminers (Album Version) - Uncle Tupelo

[00:00:01] Written by：Jeffrey Scot Tweedy/Jay Stuart Farrar

[00:00:07] Come all you coalminers

[00:00:10] Wherever you may be

[00:00:12] And listen to the story

[00:00:14] That I relate to thee

[00:00:17] My name is nothing extra

[00:00:19] But the truth to you I tell

[00:00:22] I am a coalminer

[00:00:25] And I'm sure wish you well

[00:00:32] I was born in old kentucky

[00:00:34] In a coal camp born and bred

[00:00:37] I know about old beans

[00:00:39] Bulldog gravy and cornbread

[00:00:41] I know how the miners work and slave

[00:00:44] In the coalmines every day

[00:00:47] For a dollar in the company store

[00:00:50] For that is all they pay

[00:00:57] Mining is the most dangerous work

[00:01:00] In our land today

[00:01:02] Plenty of dirty slaving work

[00:01:04] Very little pay

[00:01:06] Coalminers won't you wake up

[00:01:09] And open your eyes and see

[00:01:12] What this dirty capitalist system

[00:01:15] Has done you and me

[00:01:22] Dear miners they will slave you

[00:01:25] 'Til you can't work no more

[00:01:27] And what will you get for your labor

[00:01:30] But a dollar in the company store

[00:01:32] A tumbledown shack to live in

[00:01:34] Snow and rain pouring through the top

[00:01:38] You have to pay the company rent

[00:01:40] Your payments never stop

[00:01:47] They take our very lifeblood

[00:01:50] They take our children's lives

[00:01:52] Take fathers away from children

[00:01:54] Take husbands away from wives

[00:01:57] Coalminers won't you organize

[00:01:59] Wherever you may be

[00:02:03] And make this a land of freedom

[00:02:05] For workers like you and me

[00:02:12] I am a coalminer

[00:02:15] And I'm sure I wish you well

[00:02:19] Let's sink this capitalist system

[00:02:22] To the darkest pits of hell
