Cooler Miner Blues - Brownie McGhee

I’m just a poor coal loader, I’m diggin' deep down in the mine

I’m just a poor coal loader, diggin' deep down in the mine

Well the harder I work for my woman, she treats me so unkind

Now I’m gettin' tired of workin', cause I believe I’ve got a hunch

I’m gettin' tired of workin, cause I believe I got a hunch

Lord I had to go into the mine, with cornbread in my lunch

Sometimes I call my woman, call her 'bout five o’clock

Sometimes I call my woman, call her 'bout five o’clock

I’m goin' down into the mine, severin' that coal from the rock

Play it!

Mmm, I work from sun to sun

Mmmm, I work from sun to sun

I’m talkin' about a hard minin' man, cause his work is never done

There’s one thing about a coal miner, guess you women don’t understand

One thing about a coal miner, you women don’t understand

Seem like you wanna mistreat him, cause he’s a coal minin' man
