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