I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine<br />
I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal<br />
And the straw boss said: "Well bless my soul"<br />
I was born one morning it was drizzling rain<br />
Fightin' and trouble are my middle name<br />
It was raised in a cane brake by an ole mama lion<br />
Can't no high toned women make me walk the line.<br />
If you see me comin' better step aside<br />
A lot of men didn't and a lot of man died<br />
One fist of iron, the other of steel<br />
If the right one don't get you the left will.<br />
SLOOP JOHN B.<br />
We came up the sloop John B.<br />
My grandpappy and me<br />
Around Nassau town we used to roam<br />
Drinking all night<br />
Got into a fight<br />
I feel so broken up, I wanna go home.<br />
So hoist up the John B. sail<br />
See how the main sail sets<br />
Call for the captain ashore<br />
And let me go home<br />
I wanna go home<br />
Why don't they let me go home<br />
I feel so broken up, I wanna go home.<br />
The first mate he got drunk<br />
He broke in the captains trunk<br />
The constable had to come and take him away<br />
Oh sheriff John Stone, why don't you let me go home<br />
