Here's one of my other compositions.
Kentuky Coal Miner's Blues All lyrics by James Logan
Well I aint gonna work in the mines no more. No I aint gonna work in the mines no more. I aint gonna make no 'hundred rounds a day no more
Well I'd rather up above the ground Then die in the hellfire down below. Where the rocks tumble and the timbers moan. No more.
Well I aint gonna be makin' no wages no more. I'd rather drink and gamble with my time Even if I won't make scarce a dime. No more.
Why ya leavin' me babe? Why ya leavin' me babe? Is it because of the diamonds I never gave? Which I dug in the mines all day.
Well I guess I'll just fade away. Where I'll be headin' I cannot say But even when you walked out that door. I knew I woudn't be working' in those damn mines no more.
