Jellico Coal Man - T-Bone Burnett

I’ve got a little black ring around my neck

And I will sell you coal by the bushel or the keck

I will sell you coal by the gallon or the pound

And you don’t have to look for me

I’ll be around

Yelling Jellico coal man, Jellico coal man

Jellico coal man, coal, coal, coal

There is coal that’s soft and coal that’s hard

I will bring it around to your back yard

I’ll have chocolate cake and apple pie

I believe I will have a piece when I come by

I’m the Jellico coal man, Jellico coal man

Jellico coal man, coal, coal, coal

It comes direct from the Jellico mine

It’ll warm your baby in the winter time

When the sun comes up, that’s the time I start

You will see my coming with my two wheel cart

Yelling Jellico coal man, Jellico coal man

Jellico coal man, coal, coal, coal

Jellico coal man, I’m the Jellico coal man

Jellico coal man, coal, coal, coal

Coal, coal, coal

Coal, coal, coal
