Coal War

I ain't cutting my hair till the good Lord comes

I ain't cutting my hair till the good Lord comes

I ain't cutting my hair till the good Lord comes

Arrive upon the mountain just to see what we have done

Cutting my hair, cutting till the good Lord comes

I ain't open my eyes till we all walk free

I ain't open my eyes till we all walk free

I ain't open my eyes till we all walk free

Till the color of our skin, it don't mean a damn thing

I ain't open my eyes, open till we all walk free

I ain't picking up a paper till the wild wind blows

I ain't picking up a paper till the wild wind blows

I ain't picking up a paper till the wild wind blows

We should say what we should say, till we know what we should know

I ain't picking up a paper, picking till the wild wind blows

'Cause it's a coal, it's a coal war

Ah

It's a coal, coal, it's a coal war

Ah

I ain't cutting my hair till the good Lord comes

Arrive upon the mountain just to see what we have done

I ain't cutting my hair, cutting till the good Lord comes

Till the good Lord comes

'Cause it's a coal, it's a coal war

Ah

It's a coal, coal, coal

If we don't walk free with hand in heart, it's time

We cannot see all we destroy, we're blind

It's not the hand that cuts, it's the heart we left behind

It's not the hand that cuts, it's the hatred deep inside

It's not the hand that cuts, it's the hatred deep inside

It's not the hand, not the hand

Five dollars and a head to keep

With dull black scissors and some kerosene

You burnt the house but you came to bid him well

Oh

What a thing to tell

Put poison in the well

Just to say

Just to say

Just to say

Just to say

I ain't cutting my hair till the good Lord comes

Ain't cutting my hair till the good Lord comes

I ain't cutting my hair till the good Lord comes

Arrive upon the mountain just to see what we have done

I ain't cutting my hair, cutting till the good Lord comes

Till the good Lord comes
