Subject: Lyr req: King Coal sung by Dave Webber From: Date: 16 Sep 98 - 04:12 AM Heard this recently, the chorus goes: For there's fire in the heart of old King Coal; The -------- of centuries in his sole There's a power in the ground where his black blood flows [So here's?] to old King Coal. Anyone supply me with any more? Understand that Dave Webber does it. Blessings, Barbara |
Subject: Lyr Add: OLD KING COAL (John Kirkpatrick) ^^ From: Mike Robertson Date: 17 Sep 98 - 06:16 PM This is a song written by one of the greats in British folk music, John Kirkpatrick. You'll find it (in his version, with the ever-present button accordion) on the CD 'Earthling' from 1994 (Music and Words MWCD 4006).
A great song that is a kind of modernization of John Barleycorn, at least into the age of coal. I was fortunate enough to hear John perform this one live just this summer at a concert in Falmouth (and even have a quick chat over a pint...:-)
You get the words with the CD but in case it's difficult to get hold of here is what it says: OLD KING COAL (Chorus) So they scratched him, hacked him, and harried him out (Chorus) Then they cracked his bones on the grinding stones (Chorus) And his soul cried out with a final song (Chorus) Out of the darkness there comes light (Chorus) |
