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