Chorus:
Mountain life and beauty my darlin’
Those blue hills you’ll never know
But my darlin’, too lat for asking
We sold our souls to Peabody Coal
When I was just a child
Was a child of the streets
Daddy was a coal mining man
Worked long hours to put shoes on my feet
Chorus
Word came through the town
Something in the mine had gone wrong
Said “Sorry my son”
“Daddy ain’t comin’ come”
Chorus
When I turned seventeen
I was workin’ in that same mine
Worked in the dark for sixty-odd years
Thought I had done my time
Chorus
They tore my mountains from the sky to the ground
Just to get what’s beneath
They moved my mountains and they moved my streams
Just to feed our own greed
Chorus

I got off work last Wednesday night
Wasn’t quite feeling alright
Went to the bar on 49th
Sat myself down and ordered up a pint
Chorus:
Hey you there with your coat and your tie
Let me on the train, let me ease on by
Been drinking since work, see the morning light
Won’t do it again till tomorrow night
You know the bartender was a friend of mine
He knew just what would make me feel fine
Gave me a Magic Hat #9
Laid down a twenty and he kindly declined
Chorus
Two became three and three became four
All the barflies were stumbling out the door
“Last call boys, can’t drink anymore”
“Except you man, stay as long as you care”
Chorus
Next thing I know, six o’clock came
Looked in the sky and it started to rain
Fell on my ass trying to get on the train
Door started to close, so I had to say
Chorus
