coaltown road - the barra macneils lyrics

[verse 1]
we get up in the black
down the coaltown road
and we hike along the track
where the coal trains load
and we make the ponies pull
’till they nearly break their backs
and they’ll never see again
down the coaltown road

[verse 2]
we hear the whistle call
down the coaltown road
and we take our towels’n all
where the coal trains load
in the cages and we drop
’till there’s nowhere else to fall
and wе leave this world behind us
down thе coaltown road

[verse 3]
we never see the sun
down the coaltown road
at a penny for a tonne
where the coal trains load
when our shift comes up on top
we’re so thankful to be done
we head home to sleep and dream
about the coaltown road
[verse 4]
there’s miners’ little sons
down the coaltown road
playing with their cowboy guns
where the coal trains load
but they’d better make the best
of their childhood while it runs
there’s a pick and shovel waiting
down the coaltown road

[verse 5]
if there’s a god for us
down the coaltown road
all the miners he can bless
where the coal trains load
for we’re sweating in the hole
sucking down the devil’s dust
just the keep the fires a*blazing
down the coaltown road

[verse 6]
we get up in the black
down the coaltown road
and we hike along the track
where the coal trains load
and we make the ponies pull
’till they nearly break their backs
and they’ll never see again
down the coaltown road
and we make the ponies pull
’till they nearly break their backs
and they’ll never see again
down the coaltown road
