Devil Put the Coal in the Ground

Steve Earle

[Verse 1]
Well the Devil put the coal in the ground
Devil put the coal in the ground
He buried it deep, it'll never be found
Devil put the coal in the ground

Said that'll be a diamond some day
That'll be a diamond some day
You'll be long gone and dead anyway
That'll be a diamond some day

[Chorus]
Well the Devil put the coal in the ground
Devil put the coal in the ground
Said I double dog dare you to follow me down
Devil put the coal in the ground

[Verse 2]
Well the good Lord give me two hands
Good Lord give me two hands
Said "Is you an animal, is you a man?"
The good Lord give me two hands

Lord giveth and He taketh away
Lord giveth and He taketh away
Oh, the Devil dig the same damn hole every day
Lord giveth and He taketh away

[Chorus]
Well the Devil put the coal in the ground
Devil put the coal in the ground
Said I double dog dare you to follow me down
Devil put the coal in the ground

[Instrumental Verse]

[Verse 3]
I wake up in the morning and pray
Wake up in the morning and pray
Keep the wolf from my door, and the Devil at bay
Wake up in the morning and pray

Well the black lung'll kill me some day
The black lung'll kill me some day
I'm already underground, I reckon anyway
The black lung'll kill me some day

[Chorus]
Well the Devil put the coal in the ground
Devil put the coal in the ground
Said I'll double dog dare you to follow me down
Devil put the coal in the ground

Well the Devil put the coal in the ground
Devil put the coal in the ground
Said I'll double dog dare you to follow me down
Devil put the coal in the ground
