Lyrics for 'Blue Tattoo (Coal Town Road)' by 'Sandy Denny'
Travelin' Down That Coaltown Road,
Listen To My Rubber Tires Whine;
Goodbye To Buckeye And White Sycamore,
I'm Leavin' You Behind.
I've Been A Coal Miner All My Life
Layin' Down Track In The Hole,
Got A Back Like An Ironwood Bent By The Wind
Blood Veins As Black As The Coal.

Somebody Said "that's A Strange Tattoo
You Have On The Side Of Your Head."
I Said "that's A Mark Of Number Nine Coal
A Little More And I'd Be Dead"
But I Love The Rumble And I Love The Dark
I Love The Cool Of The Slate.
But It's Travelin' Down This New Road Lookin' For A Job
It's The Travelin' And Lookin' I Hate.

I've Stood For The Union, I Walked In The Line,
I Fought Against The Company;
I Stood For The U. M. W. Of A.
Now Who's Gonna Stand For Me?
Cause I Got No Job, I Got No Pay,
I Just Got A Worried Soul;
And This Blue Tattoo On The Side Of My Head
Left By The Number Nine Coal.

Someday When I'm Dead And Gone
To Heaven, The Land Of My Dreams,
I Won't Have To Worry On Losin' My Job
To Bad Times 'n Big Machines.
But I Got No Job And I Got No Pay,
I Just Got A Worried Soul;
And This Blue Tattoo On The Side Of My Head
Left By That Number Nine Coal,
Left By That Number Nine Coal.
