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

Em
[Verse 4]
Em G Am C
They sent him deep into the mine where a boy can't see the light of day
Em G Am C
Guided by the lamp on his head in the dark he begins
Em G Am C Am
To pray that the fuses were all cut right and that a stray spark don't take light
G Am C
And prays that he won't die in this mine, he hates the thought
Em G Am C
Mama cries
[Chorus]
Em G
Better run coalshooter run
Am C
Run away as fast as you can
Em G Am C
And when you get to the end of the tunnel just keep on runnin' my friend
Em G Am C
Cause this ain't no kind of life that a young man should live
Em G Am C
If you can run faster than gunpowder burns you might see the light again
