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