Intro
G# C-G# G# D-G#
G# C# G#
There is a story the coal miners tell
D#
In Hazzard Kentucky about a woman called Nell
C# G#
She came there from somewhere just her and a child
D# G#
And bought her a farm in the valley
G# C# G#
Now rumor says she had a whole lot of money
D#
That boy never would work a day in his life
G# C# G#
And all of the miners, those old forty-niners
D# G#
Tried harder than ever to make Nell their wife
C# D# C# G#
But Nell was a lady content with the baby
D#
She'd had a good man who was lost in the mine
G# C# G#
At night she would listen for sounds of his hammer
D# G#
And look in the coal miners' faces for signs
G# C# G#
For years people talked of the pretty young woman
D#
The boy, long neglected, had turned to a man
G# C# G#
Who walked thru the tunnels in search of his daddy
D# G#
And carried a cold lump of coal in his hand
C# D# C# G#
She called the boy David, a name from the Good Book
D#
For she believed prayin' was good for the soul
G# C# G#
She'd found him abandoned when he was a baby
D# G#
Clutched tight in his hand was a cold lump of coal
C# G# C# G#
Now the truth of the matter, she tried to keep secret
D#
But small towns know more than a body should tell
G# C# G#
And it wasn't long 'til the story was proven
D# G#
For someone had murded the lady called Nell
G# C# G#
The investigation meant questioning David
D#
They hounded that boy 'til he lost self control
C# G# C# G#
It seems on the floor underneath that old lady
D# G#
Just touching her head was a cold lump of coal
G# C# G#
Now witnesses swore 'twas the work of the devil
D#
'Cause Jesus could never have been that unkind
C# G# C# G#
The jury said guilty, the judge had no mercy
D# G#
The boy was convicted of serious crime
C# D# C# G#
And it wasn't long after the boy's execution
D#
A# man name of Billy confessed to the kill
G# C# G#
His conscience was burdened with innocent bodies
D# G#
For he swore he'd only been doing God's will
C# D# C# G#
He told in a vision the Lord had come to him
D#
And whispered go down and take that woman's life
G# C# G#
For she is a sinner not fit to be livin'
D# G#
Go down there and kill her but don't use your knife
C# D# C# G#
Now wait 'til the boy leaves to look for his daddy
D#
He'll be forgotten down there in that hole
G# C# G#
Billy confessed how he snuck up behind her
D# G#
And beat her to death with a cold lump of coal
G# C# G#
Now all of you people that's preaching the gospel
D#
Remember repentence must come from the soul
G# C# G#
The Lord knows the answer I'm not free to give it
N/C# (D) (C) (G)
For I'm just the voice of a cold lump of coal
