They say for the fun I had last night I'll burn in hell with the anthracite I said if that little lady treats me right We'll burn with the anthracite Tonight I'll go knocking on her back door Make love to her on the bedroom floor Pretty satin sheets why mess them for We'll burn with the anthracite Chorus: We'll burn with the anthracite We'll burn with the anthracite I said if that little lady treats me right
We'll burn with the anthracite Preacher came calling 'round back one day Found me and my lady sliding in the hay Handed in the collar on the very same day He'll burn with the anthracite (chorus) This town has a way of getting in your head Happened to my daddy and now he's dead I'll use me hands other ways instead And burn with the anthracite (chorus)
