Album: Spicks & Specks: 26 Songs From the Early Days
I tell my troubles to the coalman.
He's a coalman but he understands.
He's not such a very, very old man.
He's a soul man and he takes my hand.
He makes a man feel good when he's down.
Head is touching the ground.
He's going to help you if he can.
He's a coalman.
I've been waiting for the coalman.
He's a whole man and he treats me nice.
Everybody needs a coalman.
When you're low, man, you can get advice.
He makes a man feel good when he's down.
Head is touching the ground.
He's going to help you if he can.
He's a coalman.
I need her loving so much,
the feeling is too much to bear.
You've got to have somebody,
when she's not there.
I tell my troubles to the coalman.
He's a coalman but he understands.
He's not such a very, very old man.
He's a soul man and he takes my hand.
He makes a man feel good when he's down.
Head is touching the ground.
He's going to help you if he can.
He's a coalman.
I need her loving so much,
the feeling is too much to bear.
You've got to have somebody
when she's not there.
I tell my troubles to the coalman.
He's a coalman but he understands.
He's not such a very, very old man.
He's a soul man and he takes my hand.
He's gonna help you when he's down.
When your head is touching the ground.
And he'll help you if he can.
He's a coalman .
Coalman...
