Black Lung Song chords and lyrics - FRANK TOVEY

Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[Bm]
I went into my old
place this mornin'
And I got down on my knees
I couldn't load no coal,
all I could do was cough and wheeze
Got that pneumoconiosis,
black lung too
You get one, you've got the other,
either way you lose
Well I went to see my doctor,
and he looked me over twice
You've got something in rod,
sure gonna take your life
Got that pneumoconiosis,
black lung too
You get one, you've got the other,
either way you lose
I'm an old coal miner,
and I've ate dust all my life
I'm too old to learn a new trade
But I cannot tell my wife
Got that pneumoconiosis
Black lung too
You get one, you've got the other
Either way you lose
We got thirteen little children
And they've all got to leave
No clothes upon their backs,
no shoes upon their feet
Got that pneumoconiosis,
black lung too
You get one, you've got the other,
either way you lose
When I get up in heaven,
Saint Peter's gonna cry
When I tell him that the reason
old Nimrod had to die
Got that pneumoconiosis,
black blood in your teeth
You get one, you've got the other,
eat the way you lose
When I get up in heaven,
gonna hug Saint Peter's neck
When he tells old Paul and Silas,
giving him his black lung check
Got that pneumoconiosis,
black lung too
You get one, you've got the other
You eat the way you do
