Misheard Lyrics:
On a ceiling on the porch I left her,sad
And I said I wanna leave it again
Once I saw her on a beach all wetter
And I said I wanna leave it again
Oh, a-wailing, gonna waste it all away,
Yeah and the coal miner said, and a coal miner said,
And I called out her name
And the reason I want to leave the coal mine, oh
I said, I don't know whether that's a box or a bed
And I said I wanna leave it again
Once I saw her on a beach all wetter
And I said I wanna leave it again
Oh, a-wailing, gonna waste it all away,
Yeah and the coal miner said, and a coal miner said,
And I called out her name
And the reason I want to leave the coal mine, oh
I said, I don't know whether that's a box or a bed
Original Lyrics:
Unsealed on a porch a letter sat,
Then you said "I wanna leave it again".
Once I saw her on a beach of weathered sand
And on the sand I wanna leave her again.
On a weekend I wanna wish it all away.
And they called and I said that I want what I said
And then I call out again
And the reason, oughta leave her calm, I know
I said, I don't know whether I'm the boxer or the bag
Then you said "I wanna leave it again".
Once I saw her on a beach of weathered sand
And on the sand I wanna leave her again.
On a weekend I wanna wish it all away.
And they called and I said that I want what I said
And then I call out again
And the reason, oughta leave her calm, I know
I said, I don't know whether I'm the boxer or the bag
