Devil Put The Coal In The Ground

(专辑： Ghosts Of West Virginia - 2020)

Well, the devil put the coal in the ground
Devil put the coal in the ground
He 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 anyway
That'll be a diamond some day"

Well, the devil put the coal in the ground
The devil put the coal in the ground
Said, "I double-dog dare ya to follow me down"
Devil put the coal in the ground

Well, the good Lord gave me two hands
Good Lord gave me two hands
Said, "Is you an animal, is you a man?"
The good Lord gave me two hands
Lord giveth and He taketh away
Lord giveth and He taketh away
Oh, the devil dig the same damn hole every day
Lord giveth and He taketh away

Well, the devil put the coal in the ground
The devil put the coal in the ground
Said, "I double-dog dare ya to follow me down"
Devil put the coal in the ground

I wake up in the morning and pray
Wake up in the morning and pray
Keep the wolf from the door and the devil at bay
Wake up in the morning and pray
And the black lung'll kill me someday
The black lung'll kill me someday
I'm already underground I reckon anyway
The black lung'll kill me someday

Well, the devil put the coal in the ground
The devil put the coal in the ground
Said, "I double-dog dare ya to follow me down"
Devil put the coal in the ground
Well, the devil put the coal in the ground
The devil put the coal in the ground
Said, "I double-dog dare ya to follow me down"
Devil put the coal in the ground
