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