VERSE:
C Dm F
Daddy worked the coal mines until the day he died
C A#
And every day he would make what troubled momma's mind
Dm F
Numbers were rising the shafts were falling in
C A# A#
We prayed to God that we would see my daddy again
Dm F
Winter came to Krueger's and shut down for repair
C A#
While the suit and ties that owned us wouldn't stop the mine affairs
Dm F
They promised the return of all the work the best they could
C A# A#
On a foggy mountain morning daddy went to work for good
CHORUS:
C Dm
Place your hands in black dust was all he knew
A# F F
As he shoveled scraped the coal he made and the paycheck he was due
A# C F Dm
G dollar for the company a penny for his time
A# C Dm
As he worked his life away down in the mines
INSTRUMENTAL:
Dm F C A#
Dm F C A# A#
VERSE:
Dm F
Covered in his coat of coal his skin black as night
C A#
Not enough air to breathe a struggle for his life
Dm F
It's been seven lonely years since we've heard that whistle blow
C A# A#
Waiting for my pa to dig out all of West Virginia coal
Dm F
The people of the town all moved away to better things
C A#
But momma kept our family here to chase for daddy's dream
Dm F
Now we stand around his grave with just an empty hope
C A# A#
Just like the miner buried here in these West Virginia coal
CHORUS:
C Dm
Place your hands in black dust was all he knew
A# F F
As he shoveled scraped the coal he made and the paycheck he was due
A# C F Dm
And a dollar for the company a penny for his time
A# C Dm
As he worked his life away down in the mines
