Well the devil put the coal in the ground
Devil put the coal in the ground
Buried it deep, it'll never be found
Devil put the coal in the ground
Said that'll be a diamond some day
That'll be a diamond some day
You'll be long gone, and dead either way
That'll be a diamond some day
Well the devil put the coal in the ground
Devil put the coal in the ground
Said I'll double dog dare you to follow men down
Devil put the coal in the ground
Well the good Lord give me two hands
Good Lord give me two hands
Said "Is you an animal, is you a man?"
The good Lord give me two hands
Lord, giveth and he taketh away
Lord, giveth and he taketh away
Oh, the devil did the same damn hold of the day
Lord, giveth and he taketh away
Well the devil put the coal in the ground
Devil put the coal in the ground
Said I'll double dog dare you to follow men down
Devil put the coal in the ground
Hey
I wake up in the morning praying
Wake up in the morning praying
Keep the wolf from my door, and my devil at bay
Wake up in the morning and pray
Well the black lung 'll kill me some day
The black lung 'll kill me some day
In the underground, I reckon and I wait
The black lung 'll kill me some day
Well the devil put the coal in the ground
Devil put the coal in the ground
Said I'll double dog dare you to follow men down
Devil put the coal in the ground
Well the devil put the coal in the ground
Devil put the coal in the ground
Said I'll double dog dare you to follow men down
Devil put the coal in the ground
