Chord Buddy Wont You Roll Down The Line by Misc Traditional

D A7 way down yonder in tennesee , they leased the convicts out D to work in the coal mines , against free labor south; A7 free labor rebelled against it . to win it took some time . D but while the lease was in effect , they made ’em rise and shine . chorus : D buddy , won’t you roll down the line? buddy , won’t you roll down the line? A7 yonder comes my darlin’ , comin down the line . buddy , won’t you roll down the line? buddy , won’t you roll down the line? D yonder comes my darlin’ , comin down the line . early monday morning they get you up on time , send you down to lone rock , just to look into that mine . send you down to lone rock , just to look into that hole very next thing the captain says "you better get your pole . " the beans they are half done , the bread is not so well . the meat it is all burnt up and the coffee’s black as heck . but when you get your task done and it’s on the floor you fall anything you get to eat it’d taste good , done or raw . the bank boss he’s a hard man , a man you all know well , and if you don’t get your task done , he’s gonna give you hallelujah! carry you to the stockade , and it’s on the floor you fall very next word you hear "you better get your pole or coal "
