Woke up this morning : about five o'clock
Get me some eggs : and a nice pork chop
Cheap cigar : and a magazine
Had to run through the street : to catch the five‑fifteen
Let me tell you something : that I seen
Coalman got run over : by the five‑fifteen
Cut off his arms : and it cracked his ribs
Did the poor man die : no the poor man lived
Let me tell you something : that I know
Coalman got run over : by the five forty‑four
Cut off his arms : and it crunched his head
The poor man died : no the poor man lived
I ain't got : but a little bit left
If you don't come and get it : I'm going to burn it myself
Get the wood in the stove : and the match in your hand
You run to the door : and stop the *dirty* coalman
Sell it to the rich : and I sell it to the poor
Sell it to the nice brown : a‑standing in the door
Furnish you wood : furnish you coal
Make you love me : doggone your soul
I got your water : got you gas
You treat me mama : says that's your last
Let me tell you mama : what's the matter now
You don't want me : take me anyhow
Sweet mama sweet mama : what's on your mind
Say you can't quit me : no need of trying
I'm going up the country : don't you want to go
Leaving here : ain't coming back no more
Me and my rider : and two or three more
We're going up the country : don't you want to go
Went down the road : feeling bad
I feel so worried : that I ever had
Going away and it won't be long
Don't believe I'm leaving : count the day I'm gone
