QuestionMark Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Coal Tattoo is a Billy Ed Wheeler song. First time I heard it was in the early 60s by The Kingston Trio on their Time to Think album. John Stewart sang the lead...pretty much the same version as you posted. Was a great song then...as it is now. QM aka Jazzman Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
