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
