letra de the machine - tommy cash (us)
[intro]
…is not very popular in the coal mines
[intro verse]
you know, it’s a heck of a note
a man can spend his entire life down in a coal mine
then along comes progress and up steps a machine called the continuous miner
and scares all his groceries off
[verse 1]
i can’t buy rebecca no new ribbons
we can’t take no sunday walks
the kids would cry for ice cream
and i’d be broke ’cause i’ve been laid off
all i know is kentucky coal mines
but they’ve got that new machine
and it does my job and does it better
and it don’t knock off for bread and beans
[chorus]
that machine can work all day and night
and its back don’t ever ache
it’s got no kids that want a tater
no wife to wish for a steak
so it don’t make the company mad
a-begging for a nickel raise
that machine’s the perfect miner
faithful john has been replaced
[verse 2]
i’ve spent years and years in tunnels
and i’ve fought satan over coal
i stole his fuel for making brimstone
when i left, his fire was low
but mighty deeds don’t matter here
where mister coal is king
he’ll lay me off next friday night
then hire that new machine
[chorus]
that machine can work all day and night
and it’s never got a gripe
it won’t cuss or call the union
holler, advocate a strike
’cause it don’t care if water fountains
don’t run cold or clean
so they don’t want me, ’cause i’m human
they just want that new machine
[outro]
i’d like to get my hands on some of them new machines
