Billy Edd Wheeler's song "Coal Tattoo" performed by Kathy Mattea on her 2008 album Coal

Some day when I’m dead and gone
To heaven the land of my dreams
I won’t have to worry about losin’ my job
To bad times and big machines

Oh, I got no house Lord, I got no job
Just got a worried soul
And a blue tattoo on the side of my head
Left by the number nine coal
Left by the number nine coal
