In a johnson county holler

He lived in a house with all 5 brothers

The summer heat was bad as the mug

[Verse]
Dm F
As an able bodied boy
Gm A#
he lied about his age
Dm F
To help his father break away
Gm A#
from the rattle of a poor man's ball and chain
Dm F
They made him shoot their coal
Gm A#
and he was grateful at the time
Dm F
but there was many a boy who had done
Gm Dm
the same and they never came out alive
[Corus]
Dm F
Better run coal shooter run
Gm A#
run away as fast as you can
Dm F
When you get to the end of the tunnel
Gm A#
just keep on running my friend
Dm F
Cause this ain't no kind of life
Gm A#
that a young man should live
Dm
If you can run faster than
F Gm Dm
gunpowder burns you might see the light again
[Verse]
Dm F
Well they were biting down on blasting caps
Gm A#
just doing like daddy asked
Dm F
Even though they knew that the next bite down
Gm A#
could surely be their last
Dm F
Ain't got no time to be scared no
Gm A#
with dynamite in your hands
Dm F
Don't hesitate boy cause if you slip up
Gm Dm

Dm F
They sent him deep into the mine
Gm A#
where a boy cant see the light of day
Dm F
Guided by the lamp
Gm
on his head in the dark
A#
He begins to pray
Dm F
that the fuses were all cut right
Gm A#
and that a stray spark don't take light
Dm F
praise that he won't die in this mine
Gm A# F Dm
He hates the thought of mama crying...
