Ben Strong
[Verse 1]
C F I am just a coal boy G In the mines I spend my days. C F Papa and I each morning G Come here to earn our pay. Am I work at the doors of the airway G Coal cars pass my way C F To the sound of the picks and the shovels G And the fight to keep awake.
[Chorus]
Am C Mama says someday we’ll be movin’ G Some sunny southern place F Where the cold wind’s seldom blowin’ G Not today not today.
[Verse 2]
C F I can hear the old mule callin’ G As she slowly picks her way C F Down the dark and the lonely tunnel G To where I sit and wait. Am I know just what she’s thinking G As I open up the gate C F I wish that I was turnin’ soil. G And I tell her I think the same.
[Chorus]
Am C Mama says someday we’ll be movin’ G Some sunny southern place F Where the cold winds seldom blowin’ G Not today not today.
[Verse 3]
C F I awake in the moonlight G As I ready myself to go. C F I can smell the leaves a-changin’ G And I wish to see them so. Am With a kiss for me and for Papa G Mama speeds us on our way C F And she’ll wait for our returnin’ G At the ending of the day.
[Chorus]
Am C Mama says someday we’ll be movin’ G Some sunny southern place F Where the cold winds seldom blowin’ G Not today not today.
