(lyrics self-transcribed)

* From album: "Eliminate Hate"

(Recorded- 1970, Released- 2016)

Well, I took a job in a coal mine

Because I needed the dough

But now I wish that I've never had

I'm working two hundred feet below

There's a big boss man in the rock to mine

He'll working till the sun will never shine

He'll break our backs, shoveling this coal

He'll break my mind in his dirty hole

He's a man with a black bottom soul

Lord have mercy

You know, as black as coal

He said I wasn't working hard enough

He said he wanted blood and tears

And now I'm saving my money to get away

That is, if I make it through this year

There's a big boss man in the rock to mine 

You know, he'll working till the sun will never shine

He'll break my back, shoveling the coal

He'll break my mind in that dirty hole

He's a man with a black bottom soul

Lord have mercy

Black hole

Well, there was a caving yesterday

It got the boss and my best friend

And now I'm hopping the first train I see

And I swear I ain't coming back again

There's another boss man in the rock to mine

You know, he'll working till the sun will never shine

He'll break our backs, shoveling the coal

He'll break my mind in that dirty hole

He's a man with a black bottom soul

Lord have mercy

You know, as black as coal

Black bottom soul

B-b-b-bottom soul

Black as coal

Black bones

Lord, black as coal, black bones

Mercy. Lord, black bones, black bones, black bones
