And my coal piles gettin' low;
The foods a gettin' scarcer,
And the price is gettin' high;
1t costs a mighty sight to live,
And 1t costs a heap to die.
The labor problems something fierce,
The odd jobs cost like sin
The money all goes rollin' out
Instead of rollin' in.
The days are bleak and cold and raw,
And they're scheduled to remain,
For the blamed thing saw his shadow,
And he sneaked back in again.
