Tekst piosenki
Way back yonder in Tennessee
They leased the convicts out
Set them workin' in the mine
Against free labor stout
Free labor rebelled against it To win it took some time
But when the lease was in effect
It made 'em rise an' shine
Buddy won’t you roll down the line
Buddy won’t you roll down the line
Yonder come my darlin'
Comin' down the line
Buddy won’t you roll down the line
Buddy won’t you roll down the line
Yonder come my darlin'
Comin' down the line
Early Monday mornin'
They get 'em up on time
Send you down the lone rock
Jus' to look into that mine
Send you down the lone rock
Jus' to look into that hole
Very next thing the captain says
«You better get your coal»
Chorus
The beans they are half done
The bread is not so well
The meat it is all burned up And the coffee’s black as heck
But when you get your task done
An' on the floor you fall
Anything you get to eat
Will taste good done all wrong
Chorus
The bank boss he’s a hard man
A man you all know well
An' if you don’t get your tasks done
He’s gonna give you hallelujah
When you get your tasks done
An' on the floor you fall
Very next thing the captain says
«You better get your coal»
Chorus x2

Early Monday mornin'
"They get 'em up on time"
"Send you down the lone rock"
Po prostu zajrzeć do tej kopalni.
"Send you down the lone rock"
Wystarczy zajrzeć do tej dziury.
Zaraz potem kapitan powiedział:
"You better get your coal»
Refren
Fasola jest w połowie gotowa.
Chleb nie jest za dobry.
Mięso jest spalone, a kawa czarna jak cholera.
Ale kiedy wykonasz swoje zadanie
And ' on the floor you fall
Cokolwiek zjesz.
Will taste good done all wrong
Refren
Szef banku to twardziel.
A man you all know well

# He ' s gonna give you Alleluja #
Kiedy wykonasz swoje zadania
And ' on the floor you fall
Zaraz potem kapitan powiedział:
"You better get your coal»
