Coal River |
| Many is the times I’d walked it’s banks |
| With tearful pride and humble thanks |
| It’s baptized my soul and made me whole |
| Freed my hands from dirty coal |
| Many small houses sit on it’s banks |
| Catalogs of dreams and prayers of thanks |
| Washed my body and cleaned my mind |
| It’s been cruel and it’s been kind |
| Coal river |
| Coal river |
| Coal river I’ve come home |
| I see my daddy all tired and worn |
| A gentle man yet full of scorn |
| We sit on the front porch and watch it rain |
| Dream of knowledge and talk of pain |
| But that old city got too big for me |
| Just like the river our love runs free |
| So here I am and here I’ll stay |
| I’ll just live my life from day to day |
| On coal river |
| Coal river |
| Coal river |
