Coal Miner’s Blues

A.P. Carter

[Verse 1]
Some blues are just blues, mine are the miner's blues
Some blues are just blues, mine are the miner's blues
My troubles are coming by threes and by twos

[Verse 2]
Blues and more blues, it's that coal-black blues
Blues and more blues, it's that coal-black blues
Got coal in my hair, got coal in my shoes

[Verse 3]
These blues are so blue, they are the coal-black blues
These blues are so blue, they are the coal-black blues
For my place will cave in and my life I will lose

[Verse 4]
You say they are blues, these old miner's blues
You say they are blues, these old miner's blues
Now I must have sharpened these picks that I use

[Verse 5]
I'm out with these blues, dirty coal-black blues
I'm out with these blues, dirty coal-black blues
We'll lay off tomorrow with the coal miner's blues
