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

i ain't 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 pickin' up a paper till the wild wind blows

i ain't pickin' up a paper till the wild wind blows

i ain't pickin' up a paper till the wild wind blows

till we should say what we should say

till we know what we should know

i ain't pickin' up a paper

pickin' till the wild wind blows

'cause it's a coal

it's a coal war

it's a coal

coal

it's a coal war

i ain't cuttin' my hair till the good lord comes

arrive upon the mountain just to see what we have done

i ain't cuttin' my hair

cuttin' till the good lord comes

till the good lord comes

'cause it's a coal

it's a coal war

it's a coal

coal

coal

if we don't walk free with hand in heart

it's time

if 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 cuttin' my hair till the good lord comes

ain't cuttin' my hair till the good lord comes

i ain't cuttin' my hair till the good lord comes

arrive upon the mountain just to see what we have done

i ain't cuttin' my hair

cuttin' till the good lord comes

till the good lord comes
