The coal's gonna be gone some day The coal's gonna be gone some day The coal's gonna be gone someday And we're gonna have to pay We're gonna have to pay I make my living from a hole in the ground Where the kids who finished college Few will be found I work long hours And drive a long, long way I pack a lunch and a Bible In my bucket everyday And I hear the children say The coal's gonna be gone some day The coal's gonna be gone some day The coal's gonna be gone someday And we're gonna have to pay We're gonna have to pay We're told there's plenty The other miners and me That we can work out our lifetimes The last of it we won't see So we take our chance As we toil away Cause a coal miner's what keeps the lights on Around here anyway And I hear the children say The coal's gonna be gone some day The coal's gonna be gone some day The coal's gonna be gone someday And we're gonna have to pay We're gonna have to pay Now I'm not stupid Sellin' coal's got hard And many a man in my town's Got a sign in his front yard Maybe they'll leave it Leave and let it lay Pick who you blame it'll be gone the same As if we mined it all away And I hear the children say The coal's gonna be gone some day The coal's gonna be gone some day The coal's gonna be gone someday And we're gonna have to pay We're gonna have to Pay
