In a johnson county holler

where the mining company blooms

He lived in a house with all 5 brothers

The summer heat was bad as the mug
A#m C#
that the humid air did brew

In the winter the snow just

blows on in through holes in the wall

you could throw a dog through

As an able bodied boy
A#m C#
he lied about his age

To help his father break away
A#m C#
from the rattle of a poor man's ball and chain
Fm G#
They made him shoot their coal
A#m C#
and he was grateful at the time
Fm G#
but there was many a boy who had done
A#m Fm
the same and they never came out alive
[Corus]
Fm G#
Better run coal shooter run
A#m C#

Fm G#
When you get to the end of the tunnel

Cause this ain't no kind of life

that a young man should live

If you can run faster than

Well they were biting down on blasting caps

just doing like daddy asked

Even though they knew that the next bite down
A#m C#
could surely be their last

They sent him deep into the mine
A#m C#
where a boy cant see the light of day
Fm G#
Guided by the lamp
A#m
on his head in the dark

He begins to pray
Fm G#
that the fuses were all cut right

praise that he won't die in this mine

He hates the thought of mama crying...
