Getting In the Coal
Valley Park, Mo.
Dad Dand I would Abounce down the Droad
In a truck we had borrowed from the neighbors Aagain
On Dan early Sept- Gember Dmorn
To get a load of coal Abefore winter set Din
The truck would Ashudder and Dbounce
As they funneled in the coal at the Amine
Small Dchunks of nut cGoal it was cDalled
A Dlot of shoveling to do Aonce it was Dhauled
Dad would back the truck up to Abasement Dwindow
I pushed the heavy coal chute Ain
We Dshoveled coal Gtogether all morning Dlong
Sliding the coal into Athe bin Dbelow
Shiny Gblue-black Alumps of Dcoal
Would burn in the furnace this Awinter
But Dright now, to get Gdone was the Dgoal
And take the truck Aback to the Dneighbor
[Chorus]
It Dwas a drag to Gme in my Dyouth
To have to do the chores and work that Away
But Dnow late in life, I Gknow the Dtruth
And I wish I could shovel Acoal again with Dad Dtoday

Getting In the Coal

Valley Park, Mo.

D A D

Dad and I would bounce down the road

In a truck we had borrowed from the neighbors again

D G D

On an early Sept- ember morn

A D

To get a load of coal before winter set in

A D

The truck would shudder and bounce

As they funneled in the coal at the mine

D G D

Small chunks of nut coal it was called

D A D

A lot of shoveling to do once it was hauled

A D

Dad would back the truck up to basement window

I pushed the heavy coal chute in

D G D

We shoveled coal together all morning long

A D

Sliding the coal into the bin below

G A D

Shiny blue-black lumps of coal

Would burn in the furnace this winter

D G D

But right now, to get done was the goal

A D

And take the truck back to the neighbor

[Chorus]

D G D

It was a drag to me in my youth

To have to do the chores and work that way

D G D

But now late in life, I know the truth

A D

And I wish I could shovel coal again with Dad today
