I tell my troubles to the coalman
He´s a coalman but he understands
He´s not such a very very old man
He´s a soul man and he takes my hand
He makes a man feel good when he´s down
Head is touching the ground
He´s going to help you if he can
He´s a coalman

I´ve been waiting for the coalman
He´s a whole man and he treats me nice
Ev´rybody needs a coalman
When you´re low man, you can get advice
He makes a man feel good when he´s down
Head is touching the ground
He´s going to help you if he can
He´s a coalman

I need her loving so much the feeling is too much to bear
You´ve got to have somebody, when she´s not there

I tell my troubles to the coalman
He´s a coalman but he understands
He´s not such a very very old man
He´s a soul man and he takes my hand
He makes a man feel good when he´s down
Head is touching the ground
He´s going to help you if he can
He´s a coalman

I need her loving so much the feeling is too much to bear
You´ve got to have somebody when she´s not there

I tell my troubles to the coalman
He´s a coalman but he understands
He´s not such a very very old man
He´s a soul man and he takes my hand
He´s gonna help you when he´s down
When your head is touching the ground
And he´ll help you if he can
He´s a coalman
Coalman, coalman, coalman,,(repeat/fade)
