I never will forget one time when I was on a little
Verse 2
G
Visit
down home in Ebenezer,
Kentucky.
I was a- talkin' to an old man that
had known me ever
C
Since the day I was born, and an old
friend
Of the family. He says, "Son,
You don't know how lucky
you are to have a nice job like you've got
D
And don't have to dig out a livin'
from under these
Old hills and hollers like
me and your pappy
G
Used to." When I asked him why
he never had left and
Tried some other kind of work,
he says,
"Nawsir, you just won't do that.
If ever you get this old coal dust in your
blood, you're just
C
Gonna be a plain old coal
miner as long as you live."
He went on to say, "It's a habit
D

Come and listen you fellows, so young and so fine,

And

seek not your fortune in the dark,

dreary mines.

It will form as a habit and seep in your soul,

'Till the stream of your blood

Where the rain never falls and

the sun never shines
G
It's dark as a dungeon way
C
G
down in the mine.
It's a- many a man I have
seen in my day,
Who lived just to labor
C
his whole life away.
D
Like a fiend with his dope and a drunkard his wine,
A man will have lust for the lure of the mines.
Verse 5
G
I hope when I'm gone
C
D
and the ages shall roll,
G
My body will blacken and
C
G
turn into coal.
Then I'll look from the door
C
D
of my heavenly home,
G
C
G
And pity the miner a- diggin' my bones.

night, the morning,
G

or
G
the middle of day,
D
Is the same to the miner
G
C

who labors away.
C
D
G
Where the demons of death often
C
G
come by surprise,
C
One fall of the slate and
you're buried alive.
