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