Great song, great humorous performance. Never let songs like this die out!
-
"Learned" of Ernie Ford from an old episode of THE LUCY SHOW and thought he was great!! Didn't realize that he was BRILLIANT!! Thanks for sharing!
-
@whitt702 actually the original was most likely written by George S. Davis, a coal miner himself. However the version popularized was by Merle Travis
congrats on your carbon record luck though :)
-
@thEannoyingE You a remarkable young person! Sort of gives me hope!
-
I am 60 now, from a West Virginia coal mining family, and still remember great-grandfather telling stories of being in those mines loadin' 16 tons. Bless' your 'pea-pickin' hearts!

When he does the final 'I owe my soul', it sounds exactly like it did all those years ago.

Nobody mentioned that the song was written by Merle Travis way back before 1947. I got the album "Folk songs of the Hills" for Christmas 1947. These were carbon records that would break if you looked hard at one. I have had the album now for 64 years, took it with me in the AF, and have never broken one yet.
