Pay day, pay day, oh, pay day.
Pay day at Coal Creek no more.
Pay day at Coal Creek no more.
Bye-bye, bye-bye, oh, bye-bye,
Bye-bye, my woman, l'm gone, (2x)
You'll miss me' you'll miss me, you'll miss me'
You'll miss me when I'm gone' (2x)
I'm a poor boy, I'm a poor boy, I'm a poor boy,
l'm a poor boy and a long ways from home. (2x)
He's a rider, he's a rider, he's a rider.
Oh, he's a rider, but he'll leave that rail some time.
He's a rider but he'll leave that rail some time.
