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