Travelin down that coaltown road,

Listen to my rubber tires whine;

Goodbye to buckeye and white sycamore,

Im leavin you behind.

Ive 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 "thats a strange tattoo

You have on the side of your head."

I said "thats a mark of number nine coal

A little more and Id be dead"

But I love the rumble and I love the dark

I love the cool of the slate.

But its travelin down this new road lookin for a job

Its the travelin and lookin I hate.



Ive stood for the union, I walked in the line,

I fought against the company;

I stood for the u. m. w. of a.

Now whos 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 Im dead and gone

To heaven, the land of my dreams,

I wont 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.
