Arkansas Coal |
| Not so long ago, Just outside Paris, Arkansas |
| A young lady had a mountain to climb |
| Gonna climb up this mountain |
| Cause there’s one thing I know |
| My daddy’s in this mountain |
| Digging Arkansas coal |
| Yes I hear my mama calling |
| I’ll let her wait ten minutes more |
| She’ll be sold, cause I like to lay on the ground |
| And listen to the sound |
| Of my daddy digging |
| Arkansas coal |
| I was born in this mountain |
| Been down her since I was nine years old |
| And I know some day I’ll |
| Die in this mountain |
| Digging, digging |
| Arkansas, Arkansas coal |
| Coal |
| Arkansas coal |
| Married me a good man |
| Back in '59 |
| Knew he was an Arkansas coal miner |
| And that suited me fine |
| Got us a little daughter |
| She’s only eight years old |
| Wishing she was a man like her daddy |
| Digging Arkansas coal |
| Billy, get off of that mountain |
| Billy, you gotta go to school |
| Billy, you’re mama and daddy |
| Ain’t gonna raise you no natural fool |
| Ain’t gonna raise you no natural fool |
| Mama, why’s the earth shaking |
| Mama, is the world coming to an end |
| Mama, why are you crying |
| Is it another caving |
| My god, the rocks are falling |
| Ten thousand tons on my head |
| I knew someday this would happen |
| So this is how it feels to be dead |
| So this is how it feels to be dead |
| Gonna climb up that mountain |
| Cause there’s one thing I know |
| My daddy’s in that mountain |
| Digging Arkansas coal |
