Verse 1: 
C5               F5      C5 
Shotgun houses, shanty shacks  
C5                          G5        C5 
Countin' those ties on the railroad track  
C5                      F5      C5 
Thirty-four more, it's almost time  
C5              G5 
To see my baby walking out of that  


C5         F5            C5 
Coalmine, covered with dust  
C5                  G5       C5 
T-shirt tired, all muscled up  
C5         F5       C5 
All mine, head to toe  
C5                 G5        C5 
Come on, come on, whistle, blow  
C5               F5       C5 
I can't wait to get him home  
C5                                G5      C5 
Ain't gonna have nothing but the supper on  
C5                            F5 
Gonna keep him busy 'til its time  
 

G5                            C5 
He goes back to that coalmine   

Verse 2: 
C5                    F5       C5 
Some girls like them gussied up  
C5                G5      C5 
Wearing all that smelly stuff  
C5                     F5        C5 
To me there's nothing quite so fine  
C5         G5  
As my man standing in front of that

We'll make love by a miner's light  
C5                            F5 
Gonna keep him busy 'til its time  
G5                             C5 
He goes back to that coalmine

Countin' those ties on the railroad track  
C5                   F5      C5
