Intro
F F A# F
[Verse 1]
F
Down in Appalachia, way back in those hills,
A# F
You can make a livin’ in the mines, or with a moonshine still,
F
The choice it ain’t easy, brother don’t ‘ya know,
A# F
Either one, can get you killed, the whiskey or the coal,
[Chorus]
F
The whiskey or the coal, which way will ‘ya go,
A# F
One will break your body, the other scars your soul,
F
You can take your chances in the mine, dodging those rock falls,
A# F
Or spend your time, runnin’ shine dodgin’ bullets and the law,
[Banjo Break]
F F A# F (2x)
[Verse 2]
F
The mine's an honest livin, that’s what people say,
A# F
If ‘ya don’t die young, ole’ black lung will take your breath away,
F
Moonshine still ain’t legal, back up in those hills,
A# F
But they ran shine before the mines and they probably always will,
[Chorus]
F
The whiskey or the coal, which way will ‘ya go,
A# F
One will break your body, the other scars your soul,
F
You can take your chances in the mine, dodging those rock falls,
A# F
Or spend your time, runnin’ shine dodgin’ bullets and the law,
[Fiddle Break]
F F A# F (2x)
[Verse 3]
F
Sherriff just – sent you word, we’re gonna” shut you down,
A# F
Said you better mind, you can’t run shine, outa’ my hometown,
F
You send back your answer, be shut in when you're gone,
A# F
Don’t be so high and mighty, you have three stills of your own,
[Chorus]
F
The whiskey or the coal, which way will ‘ya go,
A# F
One will break your body, the other scars your soul,
F
You can take your chances in the mine, dodging those rock falls,
A# F
Or spend your time, runnin’ shine dodgin’ bullets and the law,
A# F
Or spend your time, runnin’ shine dodgin’ bullets and the law,
[Fiddle Outro]
