Slim Dusty - Old King Coal

Old King Coal :

Old king coal is down in a hole and I'm gonna dig him right out
With my big dragline I'm a diggin' a mine and I know what I'm about
My bucket is big and it's made to dig a hole like you never did see
But the feller in charge is not very large just a little old feller called me

Old king coal comin' out of that hole
Get along onto that train
you're in Utah mine and this bucket of mine
Is a comin' right down again

I'm sittin' up here like an old puppeteer with a bucket of coal on a string
I can swing it around and drop it right down as easy as any old thing
Yeah I can swing it around and drop it right down and fill it all up with coal
And the company man is a clappin' his hand cause there's gold in that there coal

Old king coal comin' out of that hole
Get along onto that train
you're in Utah mine and this bucket of mine
Is a comin' right down again

The old cattleman road over this land mustering cattle in scrub
Now where once rode there's a bitumen road leading to a miners pub
When I've done my time on this big dragline I'm heading right into the town
To the black nugget bar there in Moranbah to wash all the coal dust down

Old king coal comin' out of that hole
Get along onto that train
you're in Utah mine and this bucket of mine
Is a comin' right down again
you're in Utah mine and this bucket of mine
Is a comin' right down again
