Old King Coal |
Many a man down in these here hills |
Made a living off that old black gold |
Now there ain’t nothing but welfare and pills |
And the wind never felt so cold |
I’ll be one of the first in a long long line |
Not to go down from that old black lung |
My death will be slower than the rest of my kind |
And my life will be sadder than the songs they all sung |
Old King Coal what are we gonna do |
When the mountains are gone and so are you |
They come from the city to lend a hand |
Carrying signs saying, Shut the mines down |
We ain’t looking for pity and you don’t understand |
So go back to your city now cause this ain’t your town |
My Great Grandfather spent his days in a coal mine |
And his nights on the porch in a chair |
Now he’s in heaven and down here in hell |
The rivers run muddy and the mountains are bare |
