[Verse 1]
F#
Born in West Virginia
B F#
Down where the old Tug River flows
Raised in McDowell County
B F#
Back in the day when the king was coal
[Pre-Chorus 1]
B F#
That day is gone now and lost forever
B F#
It ain't never comin' back
B F#
Oh, how I long for the days of my childhood
[Chorus]
E B F# E B
Back in the day when the river ran black with coal
E B F#
Sky looked blue but the river ran black
[Verse 2]
F#
Way down in the Premier Coal Mine
B F#
My daddy crawled on his hands and knees
Tryin' to make a dollar
B F#
He did it all for my mom and me
[Pre-Chorus 2]
B F#
But it put my dad in an early grave, boy
B F#
My daddy's gone, he can't come back
B F#
Oh, how I long for the days of my childhood
[Chorus]

Back in the day when the river ran black with coal

B F#
Times were hard, but the good Lord saw us through
B F#
Every situation we got in
B F#
We never did go hungry Lord, we never did without
B F# F#7 F#
If I could I'd do it all again

[Verse 3]
F#
Years have come and gone now
B F#
I'm still here, where it all began
Tryin' to make a dollar
B F#
Just like my dad did, way back then
[Pre-Chorus 3]
B F#
Cause there's just somethin' about these mountains
B F#
That keeps a good man comin' back
B F#
Searchin' for the the days of his childhood
[Chorus]
E B F# E B
Back in the day when the river ran black with coal

Sky looked blue but the river ran black
