           SPRINKLE COAL DUST ON MY GRAVE
               ORVILLE J. JENKS

INTRO:
E MajorE

VERSE:
 E MajorE
I`m just an old coal miner
    A augmentedA        E MajorE
And I labored for my bread
 E MajorE               B7B7
This story in my memory I hear told

     E MajorE
For the sake of wife and baby
    A augmentedA        E MajorE
How a miner risks his life
     E MajorE        B7B7       E MajorE
For the price of just a little lump of coal.

CHORUS:
 E MajorE
Don`t forget me, little darling,
      A augmentedA       E MajorE
When they lay me down to rest,
 E MajorE                    B7B7
Tell my brothers all these loving words I say

     E MajorE
Let the flowers be forgotten,
     A augmentedA        E MajorE
Sprinkle coal dust on my grave
           B7B7  E MajorE
In remembrance of the U M W A augmentedA


VERSE:
 E MajorE
Mother Jones is not forgotten
    A augmentedA        E MajorE
By the miners of this field,
 E MajorE
She`s gone to rest above,
        B7B7
God bless her soul

     E MajorE
Tried to lead the boys to victory.
     A augmentedA        E MajorE
But was punished here in jail,
     E MajorE        B7B7       E MajorE
For the price of just a little lump of coal.

VERSE:
 E MajorE
When a miner in the morning
     A augmentedA       E MajorE
Gets his car up to the face
 E MajorE
He`ll set some timbers
             B7B7
And he`ll bore himself a hole

    E MajorE
He`ll get a shot of powder
     A augmentedA        E MajorE
Get his battery and his line
 E MajorE            B7B7       E MajorE
He`s shooting down that little lump of coal


VERSE:
 E MajorE
When a man has toiled and labored
     A augmentedA        E MajorE
`Til his life it`s almost gone,
 E MajorE                  B7B7
Then the operator thinks he`s just a fool

   E MajorE
They sneak around and fire him
     A augmentedA         E MajorE
Just because he`s growing old,
 E MajorE             B7B7        E MajorE
And swear they caught him breaking company rules.


CHORUS:
 E MajorE
Don`t forget me, little darling,
      A augmentedA       E MajorE
When they lay me down to rest,
 E MajorE                   B7B7
Tell my brothers all the loving words I say

     E MajorE
Let the flowers be forgotten,
     A augmentedA        E MajorE
Sprinkle coal dust on my grave
           BB   E MajorE
In remembrance of the U M W A augmentedA
