                      SPRINKLE COAL DUST ON MY GRAVE
                             ORVILLE J. JENKS

INTRO:
E

VERSE:
 E
I'm just an old coal miner
       A               E
And I labored for my bread
 E                              B7
This story in my memory I hear told

         E
For the sake of wife and baby
       A               E
How a miner risks his life
         E               B7             E
For the price of just a little lump of coal.


CHORUS:
 E
Don't forget me, little darling,
           A              E
When they lay me down to rest,
 E                                        B7
Tell my brothers all these loving words I say

          E
Let the flowers be forgotten,
          A                E
Sprinkle coal dust on my grave
                      B7    E
In remembrance of the U M W A


VERSE:
 E
Mother Jones is not forgotten
        A               E
By the miners of this field,
 E
She's gone to rest above,
               B7
God bless her soul

          E
Tried to lead the boys to victory.
         A                E
But was punished here in jail,
         E               B7             E
For the price of just a little lump of coal.


VERSE:
 E
When a miner in the morning
          A             E
Gets his car up to the face
 E
He'll set some timbers
                          B7
And he'll bore himself a hole

       E
He'll get a shot of powder
         A               E
Get his battery and his line
 E                       B7             E
He's shooting down that little lump of coal


VERSE:
 E
When a man has toiled and labored
          A                E
'Til his life it's almost gone,
 E                                    B7
Then the operator thinks he's just a fool

      E
They sneak around and fire him
         A                 E
Just because he's growing old,
 E                         B7               E
And swear they caught him breaking company rules.


CHORUS:
 E
Don't forget me, little darling,
           A              E
When they lay me down to rest,
 E                                      B7
Tell my brothers all the loving words I say

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