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
E 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
