Hello, My Name Is Coal |
I’m from West 'by God' Virginia |
And the high Kentucky hills |
I’m dirty but I’m honest |
I pay a poor man’s bills |
I’m prosperity and poverty |
I’m a scoundrel and a saint |
I’m loved, reviled, misunderstood |
I’m hope in a hopeless place |
Hello, my name is coal |
And around here I’m the king |
Some say I’m a savior |
Some say death is what I bring |
I’ve broke miner’s backs & hearts |
And I’ve wrestled for their souls |
Let me introduce myself |
Hello, my name is coal |
Some men call me 'black gold' |
You might have heard of me |
My body is the mountain |
My breath is kerosene |
You might think I’m outta date |
But if I’m out of style and old |
Why do men still dig me |
All around the globe? |
Hello, my name is coal |
And around here I’m the queen |
Some say I’m cheap and easy |
Oh but they still bow to me |
Be careful, I’ll break up your home |
And I’ll steal away your soul |
It’s dangerous to lust for me |
Hello, my name is coal |
They curse me now for what I am |
But not that long ago |
They sang my praises everywhere |
Hello, my name is coal |
