Devil Put the Coal in the Ground Steve Earle

[Verse 1]
Well the Devil put the coal in the ground
Devil put the coal in the ground
He buried it deep, it'll never be found
Devil put the coal in the ground

Said that'll be a diamond some day
That'll be a diamond some day
You'll be long gone and dead anyway
That'll be a diamond some day

[Chorus]
Well the Devil put the coal in the ground
Devil put the coal in the ground
Said I double dog dare you to follow me down
Devil put the coal in the ground

[Verse 2]
Well the good Lord give me two hands
Good Lord give me two hands
Said "Is you an animal, is you a man?"
The good Lord give me two hands

Lord giveth and He taketh away
Lord giveth and He taketh away
Oh, the Devil dig the same damn hole every day
Lord giveth and He taketh away
