lyrics

canny do asked me to come work up in the mines
missed my train, up too late, the suns high in the pines
my girl she won't wait on me to come up out the ground
hear the hounds callin me tryin to track me down
tryin to track me down

shinny shy she comes by round about my door
don't got coal lose all my rolls rollin on the floor
lordy lies they run my life workin dawn to dawn
hear the hounds callin me noses to the ground
noses to the ground

listen I'd leave that coffee
I'd even leave my bread
listen I'd leave that ole whiskey alone
but I can't leave them dices dead
I can't leave them dices dead

plant the ground to watch it grow to feed the morning birds
funny how the chickens come peckin 'bout my door
I aint got a seed cake left, no crumbs upon my floor
hear the hounds callin me breathing at my door
breathing at my door

listen I'd leave that coffee
I'd even leave my bread
listen I'd leave that ole whiskey alone
but I can't leave them dices dead
I can't leave them dices dead

sat alone all night long rockin in my chair
hammers back on my lap talkin to the air
when they come I won't run, aint nothin to run to
hear the hounds callin me, they're comin two by two
comin two by two

listen I'd leave that coffee
I'd even leave my bread
listen I'd leave that ole whiskey alone
but I can't leave them dices dead
I can't leave them dices dead
