Coal Miner's Blues Lyrics - Flatt And Scruggs

Some blues are just blues, mine are the miner's blues 

Some blues are just blues, mine are the miner's blues 

My troubles are coming by threes and by twos 

Blues and more blues, it's that coal black blues 

Blues and more blues, it's that coal black blues 

Got coal in my hair, got coal in my shoes 

These blues are so blue, they are the coal black blues 

These blues are so blue, they are the coal black blues 

For my place will cave in and my life I will lose 

You say they are blues, these old miner's blues 

You say they are blues, these old miner's blues 

Now I must have sharpened these picks that I use
