Testo Haulin’ Coal - Rufus
Testo della canzone Haulin’ Coal (Rufus), tratta dall'album Change Your Ways
Steaming down the muddy waters
Traveling yonder from bay to bay
I've been working on the barge line
Fourteen years ago today
Eighteen hours hard labor by the day
Ain't much pay for a man
Hauling coal down the down river
And he won't be coming home for a long time
Torches burning by the riverside
Cast their shadows on the gray stone
And the cool October days
Replacing much warmer thoughts of home
Now I can still see grandma sitting on the porch
She telling the neighbors she got a grandson
Hauling coal down the down river
And he won't be coming home for a long time
River's rising up the marker line
While the willows softly moan
Sun is rising over starboard shore
Paving the golden road back home
I can still see the kids jumping rope
But there ain't much hope for a man
Hauling coal down the down river
And he won't be coming home for a long time
Hauling coal down the down river
I'll be gone a long time
Hauling coal down the down river
I'll be gone a long time
