Some blues are just blues Mine are the miner blues Some blues are just blues Mine are the miner blues My troubles are comin By threes and by twos
Blues and more blues Its the coal black blues Blues and more blues Its the coal black blues Got coal in my hair Got coal in my shoes
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 to cave in And my wife will finally loose
You say they are blues These are the miner blues You say they are blues These are the miner blues I must have sharpened Theses picks that I use
I'm out with these blues Dirty coal black blues I'm out with these blues Dirty coal black blues We'll layoff tomorrow With the coal black blues
