lirik lagu sandy denny – blue tattoo (coal town road)
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.
