Oh yeah, there's also Elizabeth Cotten's "Freight Train" When I die, Lord, bury me deep Way down on old Chestnut Street So I can hear old Number Nine As she comes rolling by Merle Haggard's "Dark As a Dungeon" I hope when I'm gone and the ages shall roll My body will blacken and turn into coal Then I'll look from the door of my heavenly home And pity the miner a-diggin' my bones Now I'm probably going to have more examples popping into my head all evening.
