Well the devil put the coal in the ground Devil put the coal in the ground Buried it deep, it'll never be found Devil put the coal in the ground Said that'll be a diamond some day That'll be a diamond some day You'll be long gone, and dead either way That'll be a diamond some day Well the devil put the coal in the ground Devil put the coal in the ground Said I'll double dog dare you to follow men down Devil put the coal in the ground Well the good Lord give me two hands Good Lord give me two hands Said "Is you an animal, is you a man?" The good Lord give me two hands Lord, giveth and he taketh away Lord, giveth and he taketh away Oh, the devil did the same damn hold of the day Lord, giveth and he taketh away Well the devil put the coal in the ground Devil put the coal in the ground Said I'll double dog dare you to follow men down Devil put the coal in the ground Hey I wake up in the morning praying Wake up in the morning praying Keep the wolf from my door, and my devil at bay Wake up in the morning and pray Well the black lung 'll kill me some day The black lung 'll kill me some day In the underground, I reckon and I wait The black lung 'll kill me some day Well the devil put the coal in the ground Devil put the coal in the ground Said I'll double dog dare you to follow men down Devil put the coal in the ground Well the devil put the coal in the ground Devil put the coal in the ground Said I'll double dog dare you to follow men down Devil put the coal in the ground
