| Behind a tar paper shack back in the holler
|
| Old man shucking corn and coiling copper
|
| He’s about the only business in town
|
| That ain’t been boarded up or the bank shut down
|
| At first glance you might think time were hard
|
| -chorus-
|
| There ain’t no coal comin' out of that shaft
|
| There’s rust all over the railroad track
|
| Can’t see nothing but a big ol' black cloud up in the sky
|
| And if the good Lord don’t see fit to a little sun
|
| Down on these pines that’s fine
|
| Ol' Leonard gonna make us
|
| Shine
|
| Way back before these mines were tapped
|
| We had a bigger dot there on the map
|
| Who knows we might get there again
|
| And who cares that train ain’t rolling in
|
| Look a yonder coming 'round the mountain
|
| -chorus-
|
| He’s gonna make us
|
| Shine
|
| There ain’t no coal comin' out of that shaft
|
| There’s rust all over the railroad track
|
| Can’t see nothing but a big ol' black cloud up in the sky
|
| And if the good Lord don’t see fit to send a little sun
|
| Down on these pines that’s fine
|
| That’ll be just find
|
| Ol' Leonard gonna make us
|
| Shine
|
| Ol' Leonard gonna make us shine
|
| Ol' Leonard gonna make us shine
|
| Make us shine Leonard |
