Lyrics
Woke up this morning 'bout five o'clock Got me some eggs and a nice pork chop Cheap cigar and a magazine Had to run pretty fast to catch the five-fifteen Let me tell you something that I've seen The coal man got run over by the five-fifteen It cut off his arms and it crushed his ribs Did the poor man die? No, the poor man lived Let me tell you something that I know The coal man got run over by the five-fourty-four It cut off his arms and it crushed his head Did the poor man die? No, the poor man lived Hard coal and your stovewood, ma'am Hard coal and your stovewood, ma'am I ain't got but a little bit left If you don't come get it, gonna burn it myself Put the wood in the stove and the match in your hand The wood in the stove and the match in your hand The wood in the stove and the match in your hand You run to the door and stop the coal man I sell it to the rich and I sell it to the poor I sell it to the rich and I sell it to the poor I sell it to the rich and I sell it to the poor I sell it to the nice brown standing in the door
