Oh, I went on Coal Mountain, saw the men pullin' coals from the mine
Lord, I went on Coal Mountain, saw the men pullin' coals from the mine
I saw the men wearin' their mine lamps where all the lights did shine
Lord, I went to the mine foreman, told him I need a job mighty bad
Lord, I went to the mine foreman, told him I need a job mighty bad
But he said, “You have to go up to de doctor, and, boy, you sure won't pass”
Lord, I left that mining section, went towar' a seashore town
Lord, I left that mining section, went towar' a seashore town
I believe I've got the TB, I'm gonna jump overboard and drown
Lord, I've seen a seagull flying, baby, over my wat'ry grave
Lord, I've seen a seagull flying, baby, over my wat'ry grave
And it seemed to say that you goin' away to stay
