calico coal - sam stoane lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
he was a miner in the mojave
when boys were men and silver was king
in a twelve*year span, he worked his hand
died of a dust lung there on that land

[refrain]
and if you look real close, you’ll still see that black smoke
burning calico coal

[verse 2]
them gamblers sure loved lucy lane
she kept ’em fed on mining claims
laid a blanket of ghosts over the town
so their bones rest rich there underground

[refrain]
and if you look real close, you’ll still see that black smoke
burning calico coal

[chorus]
where it all turns to ash
and the days seem to drag
then they’re gone ‘fore you know it
where the air is a*dry
and you’re willing to die
for a rock in the furnace
they were buried never knowing cold
burning calico coal
[verse 3]
well, to this day, that silver cries
where the mineral painted that mountainside
and legends laced in tobacco
keep the light on, only way they know

[chorus]
where it all turns to ash
and the days seem to drag
then they’re gone ‘fore you know it
where the air is a*dry
and you’re willing to die
for a rock in the furnace
they were buried never knowing cold
and if you look real close, you’ll still see that black smoke
burning calico coal
