lyrics

I could hear those trains go by as a kid
Sometimes I'd wonder just what my dad did
He'd say that coal came from Wyoming mines
Creeping across the plains to that Iowa riverside

Coal dust in his eyes
Coal dust in his hair
He's swear he's clean
Still find coal dust everywhere
Ne'er a complaint and a pride he won't lose
He's got the modern miner's blues

Hired at the coal plant
A union man
Unloading train cars
Nine pound hammer in hand
You'd hear him talk
It was the worst job in the world
That coal would hit the bottom
And a black cloud would swirl

Coal dust in his eyes
Coal dust in his hair
He's swear he's clean
Still find coal dust everywhere
Ne'er a complaint and a pride he won't lose
He's got the modern miner's blues

Driving a cat
On a smouldering pile
Putting out the fires
And thinking all the while
Graveyard shift
There's no moon in sight
Not sure what is blacker
This old coal or the night

Coal dust in his eyes
Coal dust in his hair
He's swear he's clean
Still find coal dust everywhere
Ne'er a complaint and a pride he won't lose
He's got the modern miner's blues
