Dave Preston - Coal train

Coal train
Coal train

Spent my time digging jet black coal
I gave it my heart I sold it my soul
12 long hours swing iron and steel
So damned tired I forgot how to feel
Boss man's whistle blows on down the line
Time to get home time leave this mine
Told myself it can only get better
Walked inside and found that letter

Coal train, coal train
Running on that track
Hitching a ride
And I won't be be back
Coal train coal train
Take me away
My baby's gone and left me
And I don't wanna stay

Coal train
Coal train
Coal train
Coal train

Boss man's daughter stole my heart away
A high class woman way above my grade
Tall and blond with an even tan
Pride and joy for a coal mining man
She got tired of this kind of life
Couldn't find her way as coal miners wife
Told herself it can only get better
Walked away and left me that letter

Coal train, coal train
Running along that track
Hitching a ride
And I won't be be back
Coal train coal train
Take me away
My baby's gone and left me
And I don't wanna stay

Coal train, coal train
Running along that track
Hitching a ride
And I won't be be back
Coal train coal train
Take me away
My baby's gone and left me
And I don't wanna stay

Coal train, coal train
Running along that track
Hitching a ride
And I won't be be back
Coal train coal train
Take me away
My baby's gone and left me
And I don't wanna stay

Coal train
Coal train
Coal train
Coal train
