GUEST,Jake Lyr Req: Coal Man Blues (Peg Leg Howell) (24) RE: Lyr Req: Coal Man Blues (Peg Leg Howell) 19 Aug 14

I believe the lyric in the last line of the fifth stanza should actually be, "You run to the door to stop the Jellico man." Jellico was the name of a prominent coal provider back in the day. The door-to-door guys were called the "Jellico man."
