Sandy Denny - Blue Tattoo Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Travelin' down that coaltown road,
  • Listen to my rubber tires whine;
  • Goodbye to buckeye and white sycamore,
  • I'm leavin' you behind.
  • I've been a coal miner all my life
  • Layin' down track in the hole,
  • Got a back like an ironwood bent by the wind
  • Blood veins as black as the coal.
  • Somebody said "that's a strange tattoo
  • You have on the side of your head."
  • I said "that's a mark of number nine coal
  • A little more and i'd be dead"
  • But i love the rumble and i love the dark
  • I love the cool of the slate.
  • But it's travelin' down this new road lookin' for a job
  • It's the travelin' and lookin' i hate.
  • I've stood for the union, i walked in the line,
  • I fought against the company;
  • I stood for the u. m. w. of a.
  • Now who's gonna stand for me?
  • Cause i got no job, i got no pay,
  • I just got a worried soul;
  • And this blue tattoo on the side of my head
  • Left by the number nine coal.
  • Someday when i'm dead and gone
  • To heaven, the land of my dreams,
  • I won't have to worry on losin' my job
  • To bad times 'n big machines.
  • But i got no job and i got no pay,
  • I just got a worried soul;
  • And this blue tattoo on the side of my head
  • Left by that number nine coal,
  • Left by that number nine coal.
