[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]

[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,
