Lyrics

Well, the devil put the coal in the ground
 Devil put the coal in the ground
 Buried it deep, it will never be found
 Devil put the coal in the ground
 He said, that'll be a diamond someday
 That'll be a diamond someday
 You'll be long gone, dead and away
 But that'll be a diamond someday
 Well, the devil put the coal in the ground
 Devil put the coal in the ground
 He said, "I double-dog dare you to follow me down"
 Devil put the coal in the ground
 ♪
 Well, the good Lord gave me two hands
 Good Lord gave me two hands
 Is you an animal or is you a man?
 The good Lord gave me two hands
 Lord giveth and he taketh it away
 Lord giveth and he taketh it away
 Oh, devil dig the same damn hole every day
 Lord giveth and then taketh away
 Well, the devil put the coal in the ground
 Devil put the coal in the ground
 He said, "I double-dog dare you to follow me down"
 Devil put the coal in the ground
 ♪
 Hey
 ♪
 I wake up in the morning and pray
 Wake up in the morning and pray
 Keep old from the door and the devil at bay
 Wake up in the morning and pray
 Well, the black lung'll kill me someday
 Black lung'll kill me someday
 Already underground, I reckon anyway
 But black lung'll kill me someday
 Well, the devil put the coal in the ground
 Devil put the coal in the ground
 He said, I double-dog dare you to follow me down
 Devil put the coal in the ground
 Well, the devil put the coal in the ground
 Devil put the coal in the ground
 He said, "I double-dog dare you to follow me down"
 Devil put the coal in the ground
