Papa Charlie Jackson Coal Man Blues
I get up early in the morning : sweet mama and I comb and
curry my horse
Because I don't want nobody : not to *see my pause*
Then I goed up to the coal pile : get me a friend to buy
some coal
Then I get on my wagon : *then I'm a coal‑traveling snow*
*I ought to tell how much* for coal : thirty‑five cents a
bag
And if you want to know my name : just look around on my
sack
I got on my wagon : trying my best to sell my coal
My baby's back home : serving my jellyroll
Now a lot of your women : ought to be put in jail
Some standing on the corner : trying to get themselves in
jail
