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
