"...there's something good in a worried song for the trouble in your soul"

[LagniappesGuy]

Leave it to a hippie to take a song about working men and use it as part of an anti-mining campaign. Why don't you and your pals try working for a living, or better yet, doing without the benefits of the coal that your betters are pulling out of the ground.

@LagniappesGuy Idiot.

[aDespondentThespian]

@LagniappesGuy I do believe her grandfather was a miner who died due to black lung. Take your stupid bias elsewhere.

Ah, the working man's song. Welch has such an amzing talent for singing and writing.

Speaking as an ex-miner this is one of finest testimonies of what it all meant that I have ever heard. Thanks for posting.

one of the saddest and chill wrenching songs.. i "used" this song for a painting when severely depressed, and man, though not a coal miner, it touched everything in me!
