	Well the marshal came to town
	And his hat was pulled way down
	He looked like he had business on his mind
	He didn’t stop to say
	He just rode along his way
	‘Til he stopped in at the office of the mine
	Chorus:
	Dirty business, dirty business
	Dirty business down in Coal Creek
	Dirty business down in Coal Creek
	This morning
	Well, I make two bucks a day
	And that ain’t a healthy pay
	My kids are just beginning to get sick
	There’s talk been goin’ round
	How they’re gonna shut it down
	If the man don’t come and fix things
	Pretty quick
	Chorus:
	[Instrumental Break]
	Pretty soon there was a crowd
	It was getting’ pretty loud
	And the men all said there’d be no work today
	But the owner wouldn’t budge
	He just sat there like a judge
	And he wouldn’t give a nickel more in pay
	Chorus:
	Just then they heard the sound
	That rumbled from the ground
	And everyone was rushing for the door
	The dust came pouring out
	And it finally left no doubt
	That the mine was not at issue anymore
	Chorus:
	[Instrumental Break]
	Chorus:
	[Instrumental Break]
	Spoken:
	(?"And now)...house of wax"
	... “and more“
	...“thank you”
