Not Guilty Blues

Brownie McGhee - Coal Miner Blues

I'm just a poor coal loader I'm digging deep down in the mine

I'm just a poor coal loader digging deep down in the mine

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

I'm getting tired of working cause I believe I've got a hunch

I'm getting tired of working 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 about five o'clock

Sometimes I call my woman call her about five o'clock

I'm going down into the mine severing that coal from the rock

Play it

Mmm I work from sun to sun

Mmmm I work from sun to sun

I'm talking about a hard mining mang 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 mining man
