[Verse 1]
Bm D Em G
In Johnson county holler where the minin' comp'ny bloomed
Bm D Em G
He lived in a house with all five brothers, his dearest sisters too
Bm D Em G
The summer heat was as bad as the mud that the human air did brew
Bm D Em G Bm
In the winter the snow just blowed on in through holes in the wall you could throw a dog through
Bm Bm
[Verse 2]
Bm D Em G
As an able-bodied boy he lied about his age
Bm D Em G
To help his father break away from the rattle of a poor man's ball and chain
Bm D Em G
They made him shoot their coal and he was grateful at the time
Bm D Em G Bm
There was many a boy that'd done the same and they'd never come out alive
Bm
[Chorus]
Bm D
Better run coalshooter run
Em G
Run away as fast as you can
Bm D Em G
And when you get to the end of the tunnel just keep on runnin' my friend
Bm D Em G
Cause this ain't no kind of life that a young man should live
Bm D Em G
If you can run faster than gunpowder burns you might see the light again
Bm
[Verse 3]
Bm D Em G
Well they were bitin' down on blasting caps just doing like daddy asked
Bm D Em G
Even though they knew that the next bite down could surely be their last
Bm D Em G
You ain't got no time to be scared no, with dynamite in your hands
Bm D Em G
Don't hesitate boy cause if you slip up, son you're as good as dead
Bm
[Chorus]
Bm D
Better run coalshooter run
Em G
Run away as fast as you can
Bm D Em G
And when you get to the end of the tunnel just keep on runnin' my friend
Bm D Em G
Cause this ain't no kind of life that a young man should live
Bm D Em G
If you can run faster than gunpowder burns you might see the light again
[Bridge]
Bm D Em G x4
Bm
[Verse 4]
Bm D Em G
They sent him deep into the mine where a boy can't see the light of day
Bm D Em G
Guided by the lamp on his head in the dark he begins
Bm D Em G Em
To pray that the fuses were all cut right and that a stray spark don't take light
D Em G
And prays that he won't die in this mine, he hates the thought
Bm D Em G
Mama cries
[Chorus]
Bm D
Better run coalshooter run
Em G
Run away as fast as you can
Bm D Em G
And when you get to the end of the tunnel just keep on runnin' my friend
Bm D Em G
Cause this ain't no kind of life that a young man should live
Bm D Em G
If you can run faster than gunpowder burns you might see the light again
