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